`genericblock`:
Not supported. This option is supposed to be used with exception filter to disable _generic_ network filters on the page. _Generic_ in this case means network filters without `$domain` option - filter like `||example.com^` is still considered generic. Not supported because using this filter would disable all filters in malware lists for the site where it's used.
Not supported.
This option is meant to be used with an exception filter to disable _generic_ network filters on target pages. _Generic_ in this case means network filters without a `domain=` filter option. Filters such as `||example.com^` are still considered generic.
This option is not supported because using such filter option would cause large amount of filters to be silently disabled for a site where it's used.
For instance, when used for a specific site, the `genericblock` option would cause all the filters in hosts files to be disabled, including those from the malware lists. EasyPrivacy and other anti-tracking lists also contain countless so-called "generic" filters, and as a consequence these would also end up being disabled.
`elemhide`:
Translated internally to `generichide`. `elemhide` is used with exception filters to disable all cosmetic filtering on page, this can be achieved by ["No cosmetic filtering"](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Per-site-switches#no-cosmetic-filtering) switch.
Keep in mind `generichide` is a cosmetic filtering-related option, and as such using it has no negative consequence with regard to privacy since cosmetic filtering has no privacy value.
## Pre-parsing directives
uBO v1.16.0 and above supports pre-parsing directives. Pre-parsing directives are prefixed with `!#`, so this means older versions of uBO or other blockers will see the pre-parsing directives as comment and discard them.
