2024-12-16 charliemp I'm sure that it does a good job for security, but it really slows down the page load speed so I have disabled it.
2024-12-13 Sal Usually good till youtube messes with things. The last while, it may have started causing massive memory leaks with youtube. Just like it youtube does with other popular adblockers. Even turning off the adblock function of this addon, there might still be memory leaks. I could be wrong though. Might be worth looking into? Maybe let us turn off storing client-side data?

2024-12-02 hamslamwich As adblockers go this thing is ridiculously overzealous. Blocks the purchase button from working if the website doesn't pass some kind of inscrutable vibe test. Usually this is merely annoying but recently it made me miss reordering some prescription eyedrops for my dog. Run away from here, ublock Origin on its own is fine! Run away!
