Description

On Paramount+, there are many similar "WATCH NOW", "RESUME", and other buttons of that sort, but with my uBO config, these buttons don't work anymore. After extensive testing, I finally figured out if I specifically set an allowance for ALL 3rd-party scripts on paramountplus.com and disable 'AdGuard/uBO – Cookie Notices', these buttons function properly.

I'm not sure exactly which 3rd-party scripts are responsible for the function of these buttons, nor do I know what in 'AdGuard/uBO – Cookie Notices' is responsible. Are there any specific exclusions I can set for Paramount+ which would allow the buttons to function properly, without me needing to let unwanted cookie notices or 3rd-party scripts through? Also, I'm aware I did technically enable additional filter lists, but I don't know how to solve this issue other than to seek help here; Also, even if I were to disable all additional filter lists (or just 'AdGuard/uBO – Cookie Notices'), the 3rd-party scripts would still be an issue.

Other extensions used

• Bitwarden - Free Password Manager
• Dark Reader
• Enhancer for YouTube™

• Firefox Multi-Account Containers

I've converted this to a discussion, because according to your description this is not an issue with default config.

Use the logger to determine what you need to noop in 3p scripts.

And if you're able to determine which filter breaks AdGuard/uBO – Cookie Notices (with the same tool), we can add an exception to the list.

We can't figure this out for you since the site requires a subscription.
