by T3chN1nja, 2 years agoWhy did the developer or developers decide to do one of the dumbest redesigns? I don't buy the based on user input BS. Typical statement made by poor developer design. Yes I've done website and app design. Put the "Pause Ghostery" button back when you click on the icon. It's quicker vs going into the settings. Like why? I need to be able to quickly toggle the pause frequently and now it's more clicks for zero reasons. I can still pause my UBlock Origin that way right on the icon click. But in it's place you tell the user where to go find it. We want the pause button back!

"Pause on this site" is back in the panel. Unfortunately you cannot make use of it on Firefox as the version carrying it is pending review with the Mozilla AMO team. It's released on all other browsers.

And DON'T make that ad impossible to delete without exiting the browser... And DON'T then act as if you didn't do any of this when you quite rightly get roasted in the reviews.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Lunule, 7 days agoDoesn't block ChatGPT ads. This was my only reason to install it, but it seems, as of September 2026, there's no Firefox add-on able to block ChatGPT ads.
