A generic approach of what you are asking is trusted-replace-outbound-text.

[stephenhawk8054]

Looks like recently they are using the same method for their new type of ads so I think it's good to have trusted-replace-outbound-text in this dev cycle.

[Yuki2718]

Yes, now this issue should be given higher priority than before, as it is used for SSAP ads too.

[troysjanda]

what would an example filter look like?

[iam-py-test]

As I understand it:

##+js(trusted-replace-outbound-text, [function to target], [string to replace/pattern], [replacement])

Example:

example.com##+js(trusted-replace-outbound-text, atob, foo, bar)

Thanks

How to log this scriptlet?

[ryanbr]

Maybe add an log option, so if its succesful or not in replacing a function.

[stephenhawk8054]

I haven't found how to log it when successful yet, but you can log the outbound text in general by

example.com##+js(trusted-replace-outbound-text, atob)

@gwarser Sorry, do you know how safe.logLevel works?

[gorhill]

do you know safe.logLevel works?

It's the speaker in the logger.

[stephenhawk8054]

Oh... This is the first time I hear about it. Don't know why I haven't wondered myself about what that button is 😄

Yeah, confirm I can see the outbound text now

They can be used to address reddit's data collection and tracking I think.

We now need an option or a new scriptlet to decode/encode text. See AdguardTeam/Scriptlets#410 (comment)
