- Rated 2 out of 5by TELLALL4ALL, 4 years ago2-5-25: hasn't iimproved still slow to load. same as last review
8-31-24: degraded one start. TOO SLOW. Doesn't work with some pages. SLOW to load, slow to capture, just plain SLOW. Takes forever to delete segmented ads you wind up spending all your time blocking each segment. Have recently had to reinstall never had to do that before. No way to easily report pages that don't work.
7-29-24: cannot deal with pages such as gab.com that keep changing the address of the same add. You have to keep blocking it over and over again and editing the script does no good. Too slow to load sometimes cannot load it.Sometimes too hard to select the portion you want deleted. It's still good but not as good as it used to be.
10-20-23: getting slower to load or won't load or won't show gui to delete ads. can't capture some site's ads. no way to delete all the little social widgets at the same time. just getting TOO damn slow
3-17-23: Still the best addon on the net. But always room for improvement. Slow to respond often. Doesn't work on little social media widgets because you spend more time blocking each one than it's worth: fb,and others. No way to easily report pages where it does not work. Slow to mark offending jpgs and slow to load and block them. Still a very good addon, indispensable.
12-17-22: So far I see no way to block these little social media widgits which you have to delete one by one and this takes forever. Many sites incorporate their garbage into the main page and it's difficult if not impossible to get rid of it. In short it works like 95% of the time and for 5% you have to put up with website garbage. No easy way within the program to report sites and bugs.
7-20-22: no easy way to report pages that block it's use. Some pages it will not work. Often slow to bring up the block window.
9-16-21: Still great. On some sites when you try to use the eyedropper, the popup for the script to delete the ad does not appear or appears and then immediately disappears or does not appear at all. Making it difficult to select the script that needs to be blocked. Still a great addon though.
If you don't have ublock origin, you should get it. Best add on on the market. Extremely useful in eliminating the garbage idiot admined websites throw your way. Has a learning curve but not bad. Kudos to the developer for this program, wish they'd design a web browser too. Great. - Rated 2 out of 5by Frakachow, 4 years agoAn ad popped up on youtube before a song. That is very strange indeed. Seems this extension does not work like it should.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Dyre Logan, 4 years agoUpdate your certificates already! Tired of getting a pop up from Bitdefender that it blocked a connection to github.xyz every time I use the web. Extremely frustrating!

- Rated 2 out of 5by IsakW, 4 years agoI have issues with uBlock on Apple Silicon Firefox. It doesn't block anything, and usually when you open the uBlock menu nothing appears. Occasionally, an extension (possibly not uBlock) crashes Firefox.
- Rated 2 out of 5by icstars, 4 years agothanks for hibernating uMatrix in favor of uBO which is harder to use and offers less granularity
these 2 projects should never have been split - Rated 2 out of 5by stef, 4 years agoIve been using this extension for years. Now suddenly i am seeing add after add on Youtube. Why is that dear developers? Are you aware of the problem?
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14410933, 4 years agoСудя по всему начали интегрировать кривую рекламу, белые окна на ютубе которые приходится скипать...
- Rated 2 out of 5by KillusionKing, 4 years agoDoes not work for Twitch at the moment, kind of a bummer since it's the site I visit the most.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13290143, 4 years agoI used to love it but since a week or two it doesn't block ads on Facebook anymore. Will try again in a month and change the review if it works again, because I really had no problems with it before.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13729029, 5 years agoSchwerer Bug in Verbindung mit Ebay - Login und logout nicht möglich. Ebay Seite wird nicht mehr korrekt dargestellt.
Nach Abschaltung alles normal. - Rated 2 out of 5by Ed Hampton, 5 years agoSomething has changed between FF 80.0 and 80.0.1! Aug 30 and Sept 03, 2020. Either a change to the code for uBlock Origin, or a change Yahoo made, that doesn't like uBlock now.
On Aug 30, 2020 I could access my contacts normally in Yahoo mail. Now on Sept 03, My contact list is grayed out, until I turn off uBlock, then my contact list appears normally! I STRONGLY suspect yahoo made changes, since the uBlock update preceded this problem!
It may also have to be Off to allow display some web flyers! - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16145882, 5 years ago
