Review by bobo
Rated 4 out of 5
by bobo, 3 years agoStill causes LONG restarts on Mac after a crash. It will take anywhere from 10-30 mins for Firefox to load any web page after a crash. I've resorted to deleting it, then reinstalling after my pages load. Even this is tricky, firefox is so slow to load, it's hard to get around the pinwheel to click the icon to remove it. It's been this way for several versions. If I restart ONLY firefox, it does take longer to reload contest, but not as long as after a system crash.
Could be my Mac is too old somehow, iMac "late 2013" on Catalina, last available update for it.
Overall, it's the best I've used hands down, works on most streaming video pages as well, paid or unpaid. Just a shame about the restart issue.

- 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, 7 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.
