Very versatile, perhaps something for the more experienced or enthusiastic tweaker i think it will lend itself to some experimentation ...very good

рекламу режет не очень хорошо - но зато на скорость браузера не влияет никак СОВСЕМ! и ещё жалко что нельзя добавить свои подписки хостов для блокировки
