by Firefox user 17370604, 4 years agoAnother one blocking the comics on Gocomics, they are NOT ads! I just reinstalled uBlock after reading below and it's still blocking the comics from showing. Why is that? I'm looking at a page full of blank panels https://www.gocomics.com/comics/political . An actual fix I found is to import the http into the uBlock dashboard/my filters search box and click Import. It's still half assed but at least the comics are now showing.
Now it's blocking videos on news sites. Can you put some tick boxes or something to say play video, show comic and all the other stuff it inadvertently blocks

- Rated 5 out of 5by sinnohpiplup, 3 days agoOne of the best addons ever made. Make sure to enable everything in the filter's list to get max protection if you haven't. No idea why most of them are off by default.

- Rated 5 out of 5by PuppyLuver256, 3 days agoOverall a wonderful blocking extension, however as of today Youtube seems to have figured out a way to punch through it. Not sure if I need to update a filter list or if it's something you guys need to take care of on your end, but I'm rating this positively regardless for otherwise impeccable function.
UPDATE: Sometime within 28 hours after writing this review, the issue with Youtube has been resolved. I haven't done anything different, so I'm assuming either one of the filter lists I'm using fixed things or (more likely) y'all found the issue's cause and stamped it out. Good on ya c: - Rated 5 out of 5by WhiskeredSun, 3 days agoVery effective not only as an ad blocker, but also as a malware catcher. Saved me from entering a scam website.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dax the Duck, sorta, 6 days agoThis is, of course, the greatest ad blocker and privacy tool ever. And it's open source and amazing. If you aren’t happy with it for some reason (?!?!), then consider adding some other community filter lists to improve privacy or ad blocking.
