overtake.gg/downloads

Description and steps to reproduce

Starting today, overtake.gg's free downloads have a huge, unskippable pop-up ad that isn't detected by, or bypassable with, uBlock. The advertisement is unskippable, and worse, forces the user to watch the ad with a timer that only runs when the pop-up is in fullscreen mode.

a user on a forum I'm a part of has created this script for AdGuard that apparently bypasses this pop-up:

overtake.gg#%#(()=>{window.addEventListener('click',e=>{let a=e.target.closest?.('a[data-rvid]');if(!a)return;let h=a.dataset.rvid;if(!/^(?:[0-9a-f]{2})+$/i.test(h))return;let id=location.pathname.match(/.(\d+)(?:/|$)/)?.[1]||document.documentElement.dataset.contentKey?.match(/\d+$/)?.[0];if(!id)return;let p=new TextDecoder().decode(Uint8Array.from(h.match(/.{2}/g),v=>parseInt(v,16)));if(!p.startsWith(id+'/downloads/')||!p.endsWith('download'))return;e.preventDefault();e.stopImmediatePropagation();location.assign(p.slice(id.length));},true)})()

I am unfamiliar with AdGuard, but perhaps "translating" this rule to uBlock syntax will help.

Cheers.
