uBlock Origin has a few lists for cookie banners that I always keep on [0][1]

[0] https://github.com/easylist/easylist/tree/master/easylist_co...

[1] https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/tree/master/An...

I think this is now fixed (or worked around) by https://github.com/easylist/easylist/issues/17937 ?

You mean the VG Wort METIS tracking in order to participate in the German royalty scheme? From a publisher perspective that tracking is necessary, but from a user perspective it's just another example of third party tracking. Thus, it is part of some filterlists that uBlock Origin users can subscribe to, for example the EasyPrivacy list. Talking to the filterlist authors is very unlikely to resolve this: after all, it is tracking, regardless of intention.

Fixed in EasyList: https://github.com/easylist/easylist/commit/859abc79711aa69441e809a394677f6392b8c59a

If I have noticed a new ad, to which list should I report a filter issue? Should I report the new advertisement to the issue tracker at uBlockOrigin/uAssets, or should it be reported to EasyList instead?

Ok, please try using the counters filter at https://github.com/easylist/ruadlist/wiki/RU-Adlist-links.

For many years, this site has had an auto-redirect initiated by the server itself. It could only be avoided by setting cookies. The issue was discussed here: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1518 At the end of May this year, the admin declared war on the blockers and arranged a vote: http://rustorka.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=267906 As you can see from its results, only 28% of users refused to disable the ad blocker, 41% voted to ban it, and 30% indicated that they didn't care. At the moment, the admin in real time checks the functionality of denying access to those users who use blockers, and the rules added to regular filters do not work for more than several hours. Therefore, the problem is solved in the optional filter Counters: https://github.com/easylist/ruadlist/wiki/RU-Adlist-links

To block ads on Yandex sites, filter Counters and for Firefox - in addition to Counters, the Scriptlet Doctor is also required.
