by Nikki, a year agoNew review oct: So about a year ago this extension stopped working well but it did work just lots of lagging them in about 4 months they fixed it so I went back to using it. Well as of 10/15/2025 it does not work on youtube at all anymore. just video playback issues and nothing plays. I am getting sick of youtube anyway and every site wanting account and log ins I will probably just go back to pirating especially in the expensive and geriatric dictator run country why WOULD i EVEN TRUST MY DATA TO ANYONE
YEAR OLD REVEIW AS OF OCT2025:For a long time, this program worked REALLY well. Before switching to uBlock Origin, I was using Chrome with the Adblocker extension. However, when YouTube started targeting that extension, I moved to Firefox (non-Chromium-based) and was recommended uBlock Origin by many online reviews. It worked GREAT at first. Unfortunately, it seems like YouTube is now targeting uBlock Origin as well. YouTube has become very laggy in its response time, whether on the homepage with no video selected, or when opening a dropdown menu/settings. Even loading comments or interacting with the like button has become extremely slow. That being said, uBlock Origin is still doing its job by blocking ads, which is a positive.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Renard, 2 days agoYou are the best Raymond Hill! In this relentless digital war for our data, uBlock Origin remains the only wall that doesn't crumble. 1,200+ blocks in a single session is not just a statistic; it’s our right to exist online without being harvested. Thank you, for your work, for the unpaid excellent work, unwavering idealism. 5 stars are simply a formality for a masterpiece of privacy. Pure, unadulterated perfection! And by extending this philosophy to the DNS level, the protection is now absolute. No tracker survives, no data is harvested. You haven't just built a tool; you've built a sanctuary of privacy. Thank you for the 'Increase' in our freedom!

- Rated 3 out of 5by RyeEncoke, 2 days agoGoogle has made it so you can't watch youtube videos if you have this program active on your computer. By active I mean running at all even if it is disabled for youtube. If you go to settings and turn it off there so that it is not active for any websites then you can use youtube pretty reliably otherwise you will have buffering problems and slow videos.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alepou, 4 days agoIn a world full of trackers and corporate greed, uBlock Origin is the only fortress we can trust. It’s not just an ad-blocker; it’s a statement of digital independence. I'm giving 5 stars, but honestly, even they are too few for an application so perfect. Thank you, Sir Raymond Hill, for staying an idealist and giving us the power to reclaim our privacy. 1,200+ blocks in one session and still counting. Pure perfection!
