Decent extension, although U Block Origin does most of the heavy lifting for me. The main reason I'm not rating this higher is that every update, it opens a new tab which it takes you to no matter what you're doing (even though I have that setting turned off in Chrome) and asks you to buy their upgrades. I get it, free extension. So they offer paid extras or ask for donations. But that new tab business is invasive. It really pisses me off. As does the attempts to guilt trip you into giving them money. If you're going to advertise your service as "free," don't try to manipulate users into paying for it. Also stops working on YouTube from time to time (or YouTube will figure out you have it and block you from viewing until you turn it off).
