great addon, i dont have to use developer mode to disable stupid ''please disable adblocker'' messages on some websites. i dont want to disable anything! i will just add even more blockers if they force me to do it. so rude how system want us all to waste our time watching some weird ads and to open 5 tabs in background with viruses every time you click on something. no thanks. This is a must have addon.
