This extension is a must have when watching YouTube. I have never seen a single ad since I started using it in March 2026. It blocks all YouTube ads and allows you to immediately start watching videos, unlike another adblocker I tried called Adguard, which would make the screen freeze whenever there's an ad, then you need to reload and wait for a few seconds to watch the video. By contrast, uBlock Origin is a much smoother experience.

By the way, uBlock Origin blocks almost all ads and redirects from every website I visited. Besides, I can customise the filter list to block specific components of a website that i don't want to see.
