Understood. How about those ugly ad slots?

[uBlock-user]

@Nojuuu Disable Ignore generic cosmetic filters in Filter lists pane.

Happens only on mobile and tested with default settings.

Should be reproduceable on browser dev tools when you put it on mobile view.

Yes, maybe with :has-text(Ad) to make sure it doesn't break anything else?

there was also that ##mobile-footer-ad-wrapper

No need, there are only four of them and all four are used as Ad placeholders.
