Rated 3 out of 5
by joebt, 9 years agoI felt obliged to edit part of my review from earlier on 10/28.
Re: uBlock Origin 1.14.16 and NoScript 5.1.2 / 5.1.3 now seem to work in Tor Browser.
It took several "removes" - uninstalls / reinstalls of NoScript before both addons worked in Tor Browser.
Finally had to remove most NS about:config or prefs.js entries left after uninstalling.
NoScript's remnant prefs "shouldn't" have bothered uBo, but apparently did.
That's the only thing different on the *LAST* uninstall / reinstall, when uBo and NoScript finally worked. No settings changes were made in either addon.
FWIW, NoScript and uBo did fine on my 2 machines, until the last few days. They both had updates in Oct '17, so one or both created an issue for the other.
Side: It's goofy not to be able to edit a recent review vs. forced to give another star rating.

- Rated 5 out of 5by sinnohpiplup, 2 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.
