[FaZe-Goku]

Prerequisites

• I verified that this is not a filter list issue. Report any issues with filter lists or broken website functionality in the uAssets issue tracker.
• This is NOT a YouTube, Facebook or Twitch report. These sites MUST be reported by clicking their respective links.
• This is not a support issue or a question. For support, questions, or help, visit /r/uBlockOrigin.
• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
• The issue is not present after disabling uBO in the browser.
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I am reporting is not normal behavior.

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

• uBO is the only extension.
• uBO uses default lists and settings.
• using a new, unmodified browser profile.

Description

Test again using a new browser profile with only uBO and its default settings.

[FaZe-Goku]

i just tried, same bug

[gothic-bum]

Do you need to be logged in to reproduce the issue?

[FaZe-Goku]

https://rewards.bing.com/about doesnt need login to check

[gothic-bum]

What is the specific browser you are using?

I just tested on Firefox and the element picker works properly.

[FaZe-Goku]

edge

[gothic-bum]

A volunteer who uses Edge will need to investigate further.

That said, you should be aware that Edge will soon be dropping support for Manifest V2, and uBO will no longer function on Edge once that happens: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2026/08/07/moving-the-microsoft-edge-extensions-ecosystem-forward-with-manifest-version-3/

So you may want to consider switching to Firefox if you want to continue using uBO, or you can switch from uBO to uBO Lite.

[FaZe-Goku]

thanks, the internet is really shit so I won't use Lite without custom filters

[FaZe-Goku]

TLDR: Edge sucks like chr-shit now, use a browser that is not made by trash
