No, I'm still seeing adds on Youtube.

This extension made it much more convenient to turn everything off at once. Before this extension, I had to go into both my chrome settings and multiple extensions to turn everything off.

1. This consumes way too much memory and does not offer anything unique by combining Privacy Badger, uBO, and HTTPS Everywhere. 2. Cookie blocking is already built in the browser settings, and Incognito mode is the standard to clear cookies on exit.This option does not offer anything new. 3. webrtc leak protection does not work well with vpn proxy extensions. This is a common issue with uBO running.
