ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: We acknowledge and will continue to do so, uBlock Origin, from which this blocker is forked from. ADZbuzz uBlock inherits the benefits of the uBlock Origin with a minor twist for ADZbuzz to be to utilize this tool to provide a win-win situation for content users and publishers alike.

Here's the detailed description quote from uBlock Origin which applies to this extension as well:

An efficient blocker: easy on memory and CPU footprint, and yet can load and enforce thousands more filters than other popular blockers out there.

Illustrated overview of its efficiency: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-vs.-ABP:-efficiency-compared

Usage: The big power button in the popup is to permanently disable/enable uBlock Origin for the current web site. It applies to the current web site only, it is not a global power button.

Flexible, it's more than an "ad blocker": it can also read and create filters from hosts files.

Out of the box, these lists of filters are loaded and enforced:

I wouldn't normally post a support issue in a review, but your site is not loading and the support section is not enabled. Legit images are being auto-blocked, and I have already spent 2+ hrs trying to figure out how to unblock them using the logger (and ublock origin's github wiki). Some help would be appreciated. I just need to know how to unblock one of these and then I can figure out how to apply the same method to other sites which have the same issue: https://www.dictionary.com/misspelling?term=the%20void (there are 6 legit content images being blocked in the center of the page). thanks
