  • I was using adblock plus with default settings and block list. If I disable the extension then the link works correctly.

    Would you recommend uBlock over adblock?

  • Definitely.

    It's faster, uses less memory, can be as simple to use or you can embrace it more and gain way more control.

    I like how it's not black/white about things... you can leave it in a "prompt me" mode.

    I also like how I can basically turn it into NoScript. I've found for example that the Guardian web site has some of the most invasive trackers out there, so I set that to only allow "first party scripts"... literally nothing not on their domain and page will work. Which makes the site a joy.

    I've been moving LFGSS to be first party as well... it's not totally there yet but most things will work with only first party scripts enabled. The things that don't work are embedded maps and videos in comments or on events.

    But yes... uBlock Origin is the current state of the art in adblocking.
