Review by Yeko
Rated 2 out of 5
by Yeko, 2 years agoUsed to be great but degraded to useless. When I began to use it years ago it worked and actually blocked elements. Now, I block an element, but it comes back. I re-block it, and it comes back. I reload the page, and it is gone... until I re-visit the page by normal browsing, and the element appears again. And I am specifically not talking about elements with randomly-generated name/ID tags! I am talking about the exact same element with the same ID.
This addon has become infuriating: it does not block that which I want blocked but it blocks that I want to not be blocked. It is an unmanageable mess now. I have to turn it off completely on Monster, LinkedIn, and a growing list of sites because it completely breaks them, without any blocking set up for them.
This and the lack of wilcards! Wildcards in Javascript DOM regex CSS whatever format that require programming language skills do not cut it! We are not programmers - we are ordinary people bombarded with deluge of spam ads. We want these ads gone, with reasonable effort. If we are required to write CSS regex to get rid of an annoyance then why do you develop this software???

- Rated 5 out of 5by TheWoodland, 10 hours agoWorks perfectly in the background, requires no input. When I use other peoples' browsers I am shocked by how many ads are on the internet. Thanksfor making the web look so clean and pretty

- Rated 5 out of 5by Seän "frostbyte" Shepherd, a day agoWithout a doubt the best ad blocker I've ever used, and that's saying a lot. I've been an Internet user since 1994, and used Firefox since early beta, when I switched from Netscape Navigator. I'm not bragging, but merely explaining why this review can be trusted. Thank you, uBlock, Raymond Hill! As a fellow software engineer, I can honestly say your work is pure art: stable, reliable, efficient and with a small memory footprint! I love your other extensions, too.
