Installed it yesterday so far i like it a lot.
It's light and i don't see any browsing slowdown and most important it blocks many ads
Thank you guys for the recommendation

I think it should be pointed out that ublock is not just an adblocker but an all round blocker in general...its a sort of noscript and ABP rolled into one with a few nice extras to boot.

New update process now better than before

uBlock 0.9.2.0
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases

New:

• Element picker: ability to point-and-click to create wildcard-based network filters
  • Brought about as a result of issue #1044: "non technical user [...] doesnt know how to [create wildcard-based filters]"
  • Roughly, if you click more than one image from one web page, uBlock will derive a network filter which will apply to all the clicked images.
  • Kind of difficult to put in words, so here are videos:

Closed as fixed:
Chromium

• Blocking differrent kind of pop-ups

Firefox for Android (Fennec)

• ublock options ui doesnt fit on screen
• Blocking (off) when opening new tabs in Firefox from 3rd party apps
  • This also fixes:
  • Number of connected domains makes no sense

Firefox

• "Make use of context menu where appropriate" not enforced nor remembered
• Empty buttons in addon options
• Option buttons sometimes empty in addon properties

Core

• uBlock slow/with delay blocking ads (banners) and elements on page twitch
• Options-only filter is not working
• abp:subscribe links on adblockplus.me do not work with new uBlock install
• Cosmetic filter not working after refreshing the page
  • This was caused by an invalid cosmetic filter: custom filters from ABP were imported using plain cut & paste.
    • uBlock now support importing an ABP backup through the "Import and append" button in the "My filters" pane. This ensures proper import.
    • Additionally, uBlock will now discard invalid cosmetic filters when filter lists are compiled.

ublock blocked youtube comments.
ublock has tendency to block more than what is required

ublock blocked youtube comments.

All is fine here tested on Firefox 36.0.4 and Cyberfox x64 36.0.4.

Which 3rd party filters have you got enabled in uBlock?
Have you mistakenly made it so uBlock stops the YT comments from loading via the + requests blocked drop down. (User filters)
It might not even be uBlock causing it but rather another add-on you're using.

You can report bugs on the uBlock Github page. Even better if you can replicate the issue.

 

[viktik]

i found it.
Special "youtube remove comments" and "youtube Pure video experience"

I think, uBlock is better than Adblock.

I was using AdBlock from years, but i installed uBlock Yesterday, i find it better than AdBlock now.

Very Fast and it Block every Ad..

uBlock 0.9.2.3

Closed as fixed:

• Selected domains no longer appears in the popup
  • EasyList FR was breaking uBlock, because of that weird filter: ||^$third-party, which makes no sense as per ABP filter syntax.

Can you show me a screenshot? and give the link here, so we can test?
and please check your settings.. is this site whitelisted?
It should be blocked by default.

You can see that the browser block the pop up ad but I always have to click on the stream if I want to lower the sound

uBlock is still free and open-source, and will always be free and open-source. This does not change uBlock's manifesto or values in any way.
