Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 13269652, 8 years agoThis extension is quite high quality in many ways. But the fact that the manually selected area cannot be increased if necessary after the preview is a major shortcoming. Wereas this can be done easily in AdGuard and AdBlock.
If this problem is solved, it will be great.

I didn't know I could expand the area I chose to block by clicking on the list of cosmetic filters, after the preview; Thank you very much for your explanation below.
I think many users like me are not aware of the feature you described below even if they have been using your extension for a long time.
Therefore, in the dialog box that opens in interactive element picker mode, it would be easier and more convenient if there was a scroll bar instead of a "Cosmetic filter list" to expand the area to be blocked.
In the meantime, I think it would be more useful if the location of the dialog box opened in interactive mode could be changed by drag-and-drop.
Regards,

posted 8 years agoYou can increase the selection by merely selecting a broader filter entry in the suggested filter list, as mentioned in the documentation (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Element-picker):
> If possible, one or more network filters will be suggested, as well as a list of cosmetic filters. The top most cosmetic filter is the most specific which could be derived from the element you clicked. The bottom-most is the broadest, the least specific. Pick the one which matches best what you wish to accomplish

- Rated 5 out of 5by Harry Elmokyan, 16 hours agoThe best ad blocker. Still works great for Youtube ads.
- This extension is a must have when watching YouTube. I have never seen a single ad since I started using it in March 2026. It blocks all YouTube ads and allows you to immediately start watching videos, unlike another adblocker I tried called Adguard, which would make the screen freeze whenever there's an ad, then you need to reload and wait for a few seconds to watch the video. By contrast, uBlock Origin is a much smoother experience.
By the way, uBlock Origin blocks almost all ads and redirects from every website I visited. Besides, I can customise the filter list to block specific components of a website that i don't want to see. - Rated 5 out of 5by AP, 2 days agoYou'll never see an ad again. Works like a dream, no wonder Google hates it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by NGBGnc, 4 days agoTOP STAR RATING PLUS! Sable, dependable, reliable,and rarely any issues; but if a block occurs you can always stop block, set as an "always" exception site, or exception always page.
Genuine time and hassle saving app of first and best choice! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 20176458, 4 days ago
