I have it as a separate extension
I'd recommend getting rid of the extension and have a look at he built-in filterlist. Have a look at the screenshot I have shown for you. Does the same thing as the extension. Plus more extensions, can mean a bigger attack surface target as well.

  • Reinstalled W10 Pro 1909, same setup. Disabled SSL scanning, script injection, anti-banner, perform actions automatically and IM AV in KIS 2020.
  • Added Emsisoft Browser Security addon to improve phishing protection since KIS 2020 can't block HTTPS served websites/content when SSL scanning is disabled but realtime AV/AMSI/KSN should catch real malware as soon as the file touches the disk.

PD: System feels as light as it was with F-Secure but now with less or no FPs :ROFLMAO:

I found that the extension was needed to get past the adblocker warning on some sites, tpaste.net being a good example.

Are there UBO settings that I can use that'll let me ditch ND?

With only uBlock Origin and the attached filters enabled I have no problem accessing tpaste.net

No special settings needed.

Me to, what are your tracking protection settings in Edge? Mine are on balanced.

Now that you mention it, the only time I ever got such a warning on any website was with Strict tracking protection on Edge. I've disabled it now that I'm back wit µBO and I don't get any.

Edit: And page loading is faster too.

Try removing ND completely, next select > "Purge all caches" and then re-check Adblock Warning Removal list.

That worked, thank you very much, sir. Always nice to get rid of an unneeded extension.

I'll report back if I see the anti-adblock message again.

Strict, but I think we've solved it. Thanks for the help to you too, Gandalf.
