if it doesn't catch something, right click and preview element to be blocked - I've had nothing but success through this method, without 'breaking the rest of the site - like some other extensions.
For example - when blocking an element on Youtube with another popular extension, all of the sudden, upon opening a new tab or page every thumbnail's turned black. wtf.
With uBlock Origin though, it works. An ain't nobody payin me a dime to say that either - although I wouldn't mind.. Anyway, just make sure that if you have other tabs open, refresh the page and those elements you previously blocked will be gone as well.
* Alright last thing, I was really on the fence with even leaving a comment because there's 'spies' and that watchful eye is unescapable, even at the lower levels. Before you know it, this extension will be targeted and it won't work like it is now. Sneaky sons-o-youknowwhat.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Brandon, 4 days agoA MUST HAVE extension!!!! I can't tell you how many times I have run across websites either full of ads (all of them require a ad-free subscription) and unbearable to be on. With this extension, I don't have to worry about ads, scammers, etc anymore. Hell, this is great if you want to block those pesky 30-minute ads in YT videos too. Just an overall great open-source extension and it's sad that this is still needed in the year 2026.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18183488, 7 days agoYes it blocks ads but YouTube knows you are using it and forces a delay as long or longer than the ad it blocks
