If this occurs I replace the saved ublock0.sqlite with the increased one (for me better than the backup provided in the dashboard) and test again. The only coherence I can give (after several times of reproducing this) is that I watch videos on youtube, then surf some sites (not special ones). And after a while (15 minutes or so - the exact point is not aware yet) the value increases. And NO, I don't have auto updates for filters activated... nor other uBO related nor settings in general changed in the meantime.\r\n\r\nFirefox Version: 42\r\nuBlock Origin Version: 1.3.2\r\nLinux"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gorhill/uBlock/issues/comments/154104677","html_url":"https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/910#issuecomment-154104677","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gorhill/uBlock/issues/910","id":154104677,"user":{"login":"gorhill","id":585534,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/585534?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/gorhill","html_url":"https://github.com/gorhill","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gorhill/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gorhill/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gorhill/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gorhill/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gorhill/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gorhill/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gorhill/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gorhill/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gorhill/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-11-05T16:08:24Z","updated_at":"2015-11-05T16:08:24Z","body":"I obviously use latest version, and my storage used is stable at 6,720,310 bytes with default filter lists + plus a few custom rules. If I enable a filter list, it will increase. If I disable that same filter list, it will stay at the increased value. If I purge the cache for that now disabled filter list, the value will lower. When the selfie is created, it will go up. Etc. Nothing unexpected.\r\n\r\n> I replace the saved ublock0.sqlite with the increased one\r\n\r\nI **strongly** discourage anybody from doing this, it's asking for trouble. FF/SQlite may use an in-memory cache journal of SQL commands, and swapping the db may screw things up.\r\n\r\nThe thing is you are the one claiming there is an issue, I have no way to stand behind you and watch what you are doing to find out for you the explanation of your specific increase. Bottom line is that there has never been an issue with the storage used value, and as far as I am concerned, since you are making the claim there is an issue, make the case for it, _substantiate it_, just don't dump the work to prove your feeling whether there is an issue onto others.\r\n\r\nThis is what positively contributing is:\r\n\r\nInstall <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/>, create snapshots of the db before and after the \"jump\" by exporting to CSV files, diff the two snapshots. Show that the diff contains stuff which should not be there. In other words, _make the case_ there is an issue and that it is in uBO. This should have been done before opening an issue.\r\n\r\n> increases about 1/4\r\n\r\n3 MB / 17.9 MB is not 0.25, it's 0.17 (~1.4 MB difference, not a trivial rounding). Already that kind of statement lead me to believe you want it badly that there is an issue to the point you will exaggerate the figures. And what you call a \"simple seflie\" is closer to a memory snapshot, so though it can be described as \"simple\", it's large."}}
