Dr.Ne0Gen3tic (Forensic Buro of Quantum) (ID: 000000804fbaeac1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/23/2023 I would really like it if such a "kind" of adblockers would be developed further or even more would use such "real" Machine Learning models like this one! Here a "real" Machine Learning model is used, this can be recognized first of all by the size and by the contained model, which is in the extension! A really highly interesting approach to blocking ads! It would have been cool if someone had taken up this idea to develop it further, possibly in the form of a "tracker and ad blocker". Probably only the computational effort to train this model is not in any relation to the "effect" of this model. This one is also a bit error-prone, but if you see from which year this extension is, namely from 2016, then you see that nowadays much more and more accurate models would be possible! That's a fact! Maybe sometime someone is so "intelligent" and pursues this approach further, I sincerely hope that this is so!

Alex Merfie (ID: 00000027bec2707f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/07/2023 its a very great site. I work this extension in combination with traditional ad blocker, and it works great.

Lissanro Rayen (ID: 00000047c24d3057) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/28/2022 This extension managed to block annoying ads by Yandex, which other ad blockers similar to uBlock Origin failed to block (it was nearly impossible to manually create reliable blocking rules). I work this extension in combination with traditional ad blocker, and it works great.

Le C (ID: 00000036df867039) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/12/2021 Some suggestions to the developer: I like the style of this adblocker, it's cool that it targets the js files more so than anything else, makes a good companion to those adblockers based on ublock origin. My suggestions for future updates would be: 01: Allow the adding of custom block lists by the user. 02: Allow the user to block js files that the addon currently doesn't doesn't block. 03: Add an option for the end user to send analytical data of block lists used and what they have blocked on each page, then it will hopefully allow you to tailor a non advanced version for users who don't mess with settings. You could add a logger window similar to ublock origin, so if say someone on facebook and the addon blocking all the static picture thumbnails, they can just enable them but still keep the ability to block everything else in the js file. But so far great work, love the concept and looking forward to seeing what you do next with it.
