Overall, users appreciate this Chrome extension for effectively removing ads and clutter from Google search results, making the experience cleaner and more usable. However, common issues include occasional breaking of YouTube videos, inconsistent ad removal on some Google domains or subsequent pages, confusing customization options, and occasional over-blocking of search results requiring temporary disabling. Despite these challenges, many users find it superior to other ad blockers and value its ability to restore a more relevant Google search experience.
