It has been consistently reverting ANY change I make to what it should allow or block, and there's a bug where disabling the confirmation prompt for removal of rules in its configuration tab causes it to automatically decline removal.

This add-on use to *almost* be all you needed for privacy/ad blocking. It was a primary go-to to confirm which sites to block with my other blocker technologies. It now seems so "dumbed down" that I am going to disabled it across all my device. I just don't see it taking a stand and blocking. All kinds of sites that clearly provide beacons, ads, etc. (as evident right from the site name! or that use to be blocked!) "don't appear" to be tracking or "we haven't made up our minds", or what ever other wimp-out lawyer speak is used now. Toughen up. Or get out of the race.
