User Reviews
Amazing used it to to block ads on an educational website (I would have had to pay to get them removed if i didnt use this). It's a very good ad blocker!
Game changer! Can't imagine browsing without it now.
I've tried both adblock and adblock plus to block the annoying auto-playing ads on taobao.com to no avail until I tried uBlock Origin, install-and-play, works like a charm, Thank you!
