still not able to block youtube ads, thanks, but no thanks. I´ll stick with adblock edge.
I have never seen a single YouTube ad with uBlock and Chrome.
I still havent figured out how to unblock resources with ublock.
In the "options" page for the Chrome extension there's a whitelist tab.
Denying 3rd-party resources by default is nice, but definitely experts-only. Pages will break in weird ways when half their rat's nests of JavaScript are missing, and it will take some coding knowledge to figure out which parts are necessary. I may switch to this myself, but I think I'll keep telling friends and family to use Ghostery
Ghostery breaks so much stuff, I don't know how people can bother. I've found that Privacy Badger does a great job of blocking third-party tools in a way that rarely breaks anything - in which case it's easy to turn off. That and Ad Muncher for Windows.
Okay, I'm probably stupid. This would allow me to throw away NoScript, Disconnect and Adblock. But I can't figure out how to enable deny by default mode?! (Yes I have advanced mode enabled)
There's a tiny little + by the "Requests Blocked" label on the Button panel. Click that. Then red the left side of the top five boxes (images and scripts and the like). If I understand correctly, it's not really a mode, it's just several broad filters. 0.8.5.7 on Firefox doesn't have an 'all' that I can see.
Edit: Would be nice to be able to set those global settings once and not have them pop up on every page. And/or have a visual distinction between global and site specific rules, right now there is no option to globally disable images and then whitelist on a per site basis, right? I can just whitelist a domain which will then load everything?
My initial impression wasthat I could globally blacklist everything I don't want per default and then enable it on a (sub)domain basis.
I'll certainly give this a shot though. My firefox is really slow with ~20ish addons.

Oh, I see. I was under the assumption that these settings were still site specific, got it, thanks!

Does that whitelist the entire host? I would like to block everything but a specific JavaScript file on specific host. This is very easy to do with ghostery
The question is: is it more resource-efficient than RequestPolicy?
