One of the main disadvantages of surfing the Internet is annoying ads. It pops up in different parts of the web page and makes it difficult to find meaningful content. Moreover, it is distracting when watching a video. And some advertising banners are frankly immoral.
However, some Internet users have already forgotten the last time they saw so many annoying ads. Today there are many plug-ins and extensions available for various browsers that block any ads in any form. Among them uBlock Origin.
The uBlock Origin extension works on browsers including , in addition there are versions for Opera and Firefox. The plugin automatically blocks pop-up ads on pages and when watching videos, using constantly updated databases of filters from different resources. In addition, the user can manually block any element of the web page. It is possible to create a whitelist with exceptions.
Features of the plugin uBlock Origin for Yandex, Chrome:
- blocking various types advertising;
- Regular updating of filters taken from various resources;
- Compatibility with Chromium browsers (Yandex, Google Chrome, etc.);
- Whitelist function with the addition of exclusions;
- Manual blocking of any elements on the page.
The plugin is distributed free of charge and is available for download in any online store for your browser extensions.

Scriptlet Doctor
To the attention of users of Firefox Quantum, Firefox Legacy, Pale Moon, Basilisk and other browsers from the Firefox family.
Interesting information appeared on the “board”, but since it is not recommended to place links to that site here, I will give excerpts from there.
As has been repeatedly discussed, there is a problem in the uBlock Origin + Firefox bundle with the rules that require the execution of scriptlets on sites with strict CSP rules (in particular, on Yandex and its satellites), which can be partially solved with the help of Tampermonkey. Unfortunately, this solution is not suitable for Firefox-legacy (pre-quantum) and Goanna browsers (Pale Moon, Basilisk), so the idea was to make a separate add-on specifically for this task, which would not have such restrictions.
As a result of the experiments, the Scriptlet Doctor extension was born, which was tested and approved dimisa, the author of RU AdList, and is recommended for use for options 2 and 3 of the instructions for using RU AdList filters. The Scriptlet Doctor add-on is available for both Legacy browsers and current versions Firefox. By default, it is active only for Yandex domains, but you can edit the list yourself in the settings (quick access to settings: Ctrl + click on the add-on button in the toolbar).
When installing the script RU AdList JS Fixes no longer needed.EasyList (main filter)
+ EN AdList Fixes
The Anti-counter added in this version is a kind of Runet analogue of EasyPrivasy. When these two filters are enabled at the same time, basically the same rules work. But if in Runet EasyPrivasy is the main supplier of false positives, then the Anti-counter is deprived of this drawback.
EasyList (main filter)
RU AdList / RU AdList for uBlock Origin
Adblock Warning Removal List (aka Anti-Adblock)
Counters (aka RU AdList: Counters, Anticounter)
BitBlock (aka RUS: BitBlock List, blocks trash and social networks)
+ EN AdList Fixes
Only Bitblock is added here (read the description!), But this is a very voluminous filter that includes (and corrects) Fanboy's Social + rules for Runet, both social and anti-garbage. Contrary to popular belief, social filters are difficult to use social networks - this is not so. All blocking rules usually only work on third-party resources, for example ||vk.com/widget_community.php$third-party will block the loading of the widget and its frame everywhere except vk.com, this is the responsibility of "third-party" option.Therefore, Bitblock users will not have any problems with VK and other networks.
I will add from myself. Some people think that it cannot be used in legacy browsers. Perhaps this is the opinion of the developers of RU AdList, who believe that Greasemonkey cannot cope with such a task. But it's not. I installed it in Pale Moon and I must say that this “monkey” works fine with both RU AdList JS Fixes and other scripts. Those users of Firefox, Pale Moon, Basilisk, etc. who install RU AdList JS Fixes to fight Yandex ads and directives should pay attention to Scriptlet Doctor. This extension allows you to solve the above tasks by uBlock Origin itself, without connecting additional scripts, so Scriptlet Doctor is easier for the browser than Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey + RU AdList JS Fixes.
I don't use Yandex sites and services, so I can't say which option is more effective in practice, Scriptlet Doctor or RU AdList JS Fixes.
As the venerable says just off(author of the new extension),
Recently, there has been so much advertising on the Internet that it has become quite problematic to find a web resource that hosts at least a moderate amount of advertising. If you are tired of annoying ads, the uBlock Origin extension for the Google Chrome browser will come in handy.
uBlock Origin is an extension for the Google Chrome browser that allows you to block any type of ads encountered while browsing the web.
You can either immediately download uBlock Origin from the link at the end of the article, or find it yourself through the extension store.
To do this, click on the browser menu icon and in the list that appears, go to "Additional tools" - "Extensions"
.
Go down to the very end of the page and open the item "More extensions"
.
When the Google Chrome Extension Store loads on the screen, enter in the left area of the window in search string the name of the desired extension - uBlock Origin
.
In the block "Extensions"
the extension we are looking for will be displayed. Click on the button to the right of it "Install"
to add it to Google Chrome.
Once the uBlock Origin extension is installed in Google Chrome, the extension icon will appear in the top right area of the browser.
How to use uBlock Origin?
By default, the work of uBlock Origin is already activated, and therefore you can feel the effect by going to any web resource that was previously full of ads.
If you click once on the extension's icon, a small menu will appear on the screen. The largest extension button allows you to control the activity of the extension.
In the lower area of the program menu there are four buttons that are responsible for activating individual elements of the extension: enabling or disabling pop-up windows, blocking large media elements, cosmetic filters, and managing third-party fonts on the site.
The program also has advanced settings. To open them, click on the miniature gear icon in the upper left corner of uBlock Origin.
The window that opens contains tabs. "My rules"
And "My filters"
, aimed at advanced users who want to fine-tune the work of the extension to their requirements.
Ordinary users will need a tab "White list"
, in which you can add to the list of web resources for which the extension will be disabled. This is necessary in cases where the resource refuses to display content with an active ad blocker.
Unlike all the Google Chrome ad blocking extensions that we have reviewed before, uBlock Origin has impressive functionality that allows you to fine-tune how the extension works for you. Another question is that the average user does not need all this abundance of functions, but even without turning to the settings, this add-on does an excellent job with its main task.
