    These urls were all blocked by my hosts file, so it seems to trigger something else.

    Edit: it didn’t do anything it seems, it’s all “not detected”.

      Hmm, maybe it also monitors for changes to the DOM: cosmetic filtering done by uBlock (to hide/remove containers for these elements)? Something which network filtering by itself cannot do?
