It's one of the best extensions in its own right. Sometimes if you want to block an item on the page that exists when you stand on the item and disappears as soon as you run the specific tool, I hope if the problem has a solution. Also, if the image with Facebook founder Mark's face could be changed from the add-on page on Chrome story.

A review after years of using it:

It is amazing and works great! But let me elaborate on that.

IF you don't know what you're doing, don't do it. I recommend reading the "manual" on github first, if you intend to highly customize it to your liking.

I did not know how to actually use it, for a veeeery long time... I did not know why ads were getting in, on pages and when watching videos(tv shows). And I added tons of custom filters to it, on top of its built-in filters, to force block them. Now, on top of making my PC very slow because of it, the ads were still popping up. And my PC is an R9 3950X with 32GB of RAM...
Well, in my defence, it's built-in filters were not that great in the beginning.

I was always complaining on github about stuff not working, and ending with the creator scolding me........ And everybody was always telling me to restore it to its default settings, use its built-in filters, and never play with the dynamic filters. I didn't understood why, and never listened, I was stubborn.

But this year finally I read the manual for it, and understood why nothing was working. And duh, it was my fault because I played with the dynamic filters when I didn't even know how exactly they work.
Then I restored it to its default settings and only used its built-in filters. And guess what, everything started working as advertised, with no issues. But to add, the built-in filters are way better than they used to be years ago. And more extension updates I guess.

So if people want to use it, I suggest reading its manual on github first. I promise a lot of confusion and things not working, will go away.

Also, this is not an AdBlocker. It may have some filters for blocking Ads, but it is a more advanced tool for blocking page elements and other stuff.

PS: Sorry @gorhill for being an idiot...
