Stops one from being logged in on NYTimes.com even if you turn off the tracker/ad blocking toggle for the site. Not great so far.

Ochrona VPN jest nie prawidłowa dla mnie.

Can't disable for certain sites. No functioning blocking element feature like Adguard MV3 Beta. Some sites detect this adblock need filter for that. No details on items blocked. Needs work. So far, Adguard MV3 and Ghostery MV3 are better than this.
