This is a great way to give you control of what gets loaded when you visit a site. Unlike previous iterations of the "AdBlock" concept, uBlock Origin will give you a popup that lets you select which page elements to block or unblock. It has a blacklist and it blocks any of those automatically, but still gives the user the option of unblocking them. On the downside, it can be a pain to allow this and this, reload, now load this and this, reload, repeat 6 times, and FINALLY, THE EMBEDDED VIDEO WILL PLAY! But that's the trade-off you have to make to have that level of control. It is superb at blocking ads and some malicious page elements, I personally have even seen it block crypto-mining on certain sites where you download movies you have not purchased.... :/ It DID have issues with not loading some elements and thus perma-blocking them until you disabled the entire blocker, but those seem to be fixed now. Also, it continues to have the occasional hiccup in Firefox, but this is most likely a fault of Mozilla themselves and not Gorhill. FF kind of sucks now :( See More
It's actually not difficult to get used to. It looks intimidating because of all the switches and buttons, but thanks to the grid-like system like uMatrix uses, you only need to learn a few things to know what everything does, because each spot on the grid is only slightly different in function from the ones adjacent to it, and in a specific way based on whether the difference is vertical or horizontal.

This supports other privacy extensions and behavioural usage of the browser to minimize data snooping by bad actors. The tracking this extension prevents by high degree of resources is impressive. Without this extension outside sources will be hailed to 'bring' the resources for whatever website your own from an external source, which can log you when you make use of these services. See More
It was 100% working and is great! I now feel more secure when browsing the internet. See More
This add-on needs no setup before it starts working because it figures out which connections to block using an algorithm, as opposed to manual lists like other add-ons. Everything works out of the box, you don't have to select blocking lists like in other ad blockers and there's pretty much nothing to configure. See More
The current build includes a bug which seems to break youtube functionality. However after a bit of searching, a solution can be found. Posted here to help others who might be debugging all their extensions for youtube not loading videos. The solution for many seems to be to keep the autoplay function within Iridium settings ON. Now your videos will most likely load and play again like they should. See More
No native app is available specifically for BlackBerry or Windows Phone devices. There is a feature called 1PasswordAnywhere that's built-in to the 1Password vault, which provides read-only access of the database. However, you can use the web app from your phone. Though this may not be optimal for everyone, especially when considering the service is paid. See More
I love this one. It never fails to capture and download videos from YouTube, while many other similar applications fall short. It has easy to use options for the different qualities available, and more advanced options under the hood. The advanced options UI is a little difficult/annoying to navigate, but I have seen a lot worse. If you purchase the conversion license ($15), you can download and convert files in one action. It will convert one video format to another, or you convert videos to MP3, or AAC (or other audio formats) to MP3, etc, etc. Please note that the Chrome version of this utility can no longer work with YouTube, as Google has banned all extensions that download from YouTube.
