Hi all...
Oops, I forgot the 1st reason for my post:
Regarding shared thoughts by "BHJ" on March 28, 2019 :
Works quite good and have done so for a long @ss time now :) But whats up with the "Store unlimited amount of client-side data" ? I am not to sure about that. :S
* Oby * — : ⬆️ Ditto … Please help anyone who can constructively enlighten us.
I don't have a constructive criticism about μBlock Origin ( btw : μ= micro / "a millionth of", & M= "a million of" / mega. Among the spoken or written Latin / Greek / English etc world, it began to be globally adopted in 1873. μ / micro is from the Greek μικρός ( mikrós ), meaning "small". Sorry, I geeked🤓out. ( Thanx WikipediA ).
So, for other fans who enjoy "micro B O" ( hey, way better than having "Mega B O" 😸 ) by Raymond Hill, since I guess there are branches of the source(s) of "μBlock" / "μBlock Origin" out there, I have a suggestion to reviewers who's comments are along the lines of :
It's very good, but it has "things" regarding "parts" of the user interface that need to be more "easy to use" ...
Please, give this a chance :
Take a few minutes now-&-then to jot down between 1 & 3 things U want ( There is no "U" in "important", but
to me You ✨ like a Mega-🌟 ! … well unless U spell it "empourtent" 😏 ) to see changed sooner instead of way later. And, for one of those, describe it very well, or include a link to one or two images you can create following this :
( 1 ) ➡️ Once your μBlock Origin screen has what you'll want to paint your ideas onto an image copy, press your [ PRINT SCRN ] button.
( 2 ) ➡️ Open a paint program
( 3 ) ➡️ Once you're past any pop-ups etc, & it's window is active, type [ CTRL + V ] to paste the screen-grab placed into the paint program screen ( copied into your clipboard in step ( 1 ).
( 4 ) ➡️ Take a moment "4" *saving* your sanity = Save this now "As it is". Then, keep saving new images with slightly diff names ( ending " - 00.png", "- 01.pg", etc, or what-not ) as you blacked out all parts of the screenshot that you don't want others to read. I, btw, save my diff files with endings of " - 2019 04 04 at 23;22" … ( but your date & time, :grin: ).
( 5 ) ➡️ Doodle ( or, be snazzy ) an arrow / arrows(s) to show where to move a GUI element / combine elements. Also, use the paint program's "entering typed text into image, with ability to move the text around before clicking paste" ( remember, making multiple saves, saving with edited ending of the current date / time on each one, is super smart. )
So, show-off your "More Gratifying Graphical User Interface" idea(s).
Who knows, you may see :
* Thanks to "Your Name Here" for the idea * - in a future version log.
Please Note : I've got no connection to this extension or it's creator(s). I'm just a middle-aged computer techie 🤓
( with varied know-how in ~ 20 home computers etc, e.g. , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_home_computers#Manufacturers_and_models , and a humankind luvin' schmoe, providing some hopefully useful advice that will accelerate the growth in quality of "ease of use of things" while keeping and widening the feature-richness of μBlock Origin, if just 10% percent of reviewers give it a go.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ChromeSuck, 2 days agoFinally gave up on Chrome. Specifically because of this extension. Now I can browse w/out being bombarded by ads. FYI: uBlock's free DNS server is a must-have!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18785091, 3 days agoOne of the best ad blockers ever made i did stop using it after setting up DNSMASQ to do it
- Rated 5 out of 5by bigmouth-1364594695.54, 3 days agonever seen an add with it. and youtube works fine

- Rated 5 out of 5by CyberTailor, 5 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by sinnohpiplup, 5 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 mdfhnPQMOSnhvk, 6 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by PuppyLuver256, 6 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, 6 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 Magisterio, 8 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Dax the Duck, sorta, 9 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.
