Pros
- Long-term users appreciate its effectiveness in blocking unwanted content and trackers.
- Originally provided granular control over blocking specific domains and trackers.
- Was a well-crafted extension that maintained user privacy effectively before the update.
Cons
- The new UI has removed control over which trackers to block, making it an all-or-nothing solution.
- The extension blocks essential services like recaptcha.net and Disqus, leading to usability issues on various sites.
- Not updated for a long time, leading to compatibility issues and breakage of functionalities with other extensions.
Most mentioned
- The update has significantly degraded functionality and user experience.
- Lack of granularity in control for blocking specific domains makes it less useful.
- The new interface is disliked by long-time users who preferred the old version's features.

Please revert me to the previous version. We no longer have the option to choose what to blacklist or whitelist on each site. I can't find ANYTHING that is clickable other than removing this extension and finding something else. The previous version was top notch. This one is garbage.

E H, 2025-04-09Использую это расширение много лет и было все в порядке, но последнее обновление сильно испортило мой опыт, снижаю оценку с 5 до 3. А также удаляю его, и устанавливаю старую версию (благо существуют сервисы которые делают архивы старых версий)

Andrey Izman, 2025-03-21Когда я только установил это расширение у него было другое применение, а именно, возможность заблокировать нежелательные сайты в выдаче google поиска, но теперь это почти тот же AdGuard, зачем мне 2 AdGuard в браузере? К тому же я не могу найти ту функцию ради которой я его установил, придется искать другое конкретное расширение.
