by Script_Coded, 2 years agoBlocks bloat and seriously reduced Firefox RAM usage. Memory used by ad domains went from 2 GB to basically 0.
Would be nice with a whitelist for sites I'd actually like to support. Or have it be open source so I could PR that in myself :)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Kenneth, 3 years agoI've been using this extension for years, no problems. All of a sudden, it started using very high power and up to 100% disk, freezing the entire computer every time I opened Firefox! Disabled Bluhell and everything is back to normal. Thanks for your reply, but honestly, I isolated every single extension and yours was the problem; I don't understand it myself. Everything is fine now with Bluhell disabled.

posted 3 years agoThanks for the report. Did you checked whether there is something wrong in your Firefox profile? Please note this extension does *not* access the disk, so your statement about using 100% of it is rather surprising - like freezing the whole computer - and therefore there may be something else wrong in your profile, you may want to try to "Refresh" it as documented here: http://mzl.la/15sSfJR - Rated 3 out of 5by hkc94501, 3 years agoWhen it works it does so silently and quickly but it has blocked some OAUTH login transactions that should be trusted. This might be a result of the 12/5/21 update but I don't visit the problem sites often enough to know for sure when the problem first appeared. I was having problems with Patreon.com and Washingtonpost.com turning off Bluhell fixes the problem.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Anutrix, 4 years agoBreaks a quite few sites. Latest site it broke is Jenkins BlueOcean.
- Rated 3 out of 5by pdqdl, 4 years agoI'm often not sure whether to accept it's rejections. Fairly often, my regularly used websites are blocked every time. For example: My business' GPS vehicle tracking site is always blocked, and it doesn't even feature so much as a single advertisement.
It would be nice to have an option to allow some sites automatically. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16289829, 4 years ago

Had lost hope that you were going to upgrade Bluhell for the new Firefox.
Simply the best ... Speed is flying again ... everything works smoothly.
Thanks again - Rated 5 out of 5by Novakof, 4 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Thomas Leon Highbaugh, 5 years agoTBH I have a few adblockers installed, they don't really cancel each other out just filter the crap out better if arrange properly. This is the only one that warns me about legitimately dangerous sites before traveling to said site without blocking internal network connections or otherwise benign sites while also being strict enough to be the only one to attempt to block these resources.
Good job, highly recommend
