Advanced user features

Raymond Hill edited this page Mar 24, 2015 · 40 revisions

Advanced user mode can be enabled from the Settings tab in uBlock's dashboard. Enable at your own risk.

Read the docs

Advanced users are expected to read the documentation. This is very important.

If you use advanced features without fully understanding them, uBlock:

  • might
  • probably will
.. behave in ways unexpected to you.

If you think the documentation needs more work, you are more than welcome to contribute. Look for the grey Edit button on any wiki page — here's what it looks like: Edit button

If you don't see this button, you can suggest your edit on the issue tracker instead.

Differences

No tool tips

Tool tips are useful for novice users, but can become annoying to advanced users. Tool tips are turned off for advanced users.

Dynamic filtering

Dynamic filtering (quick guide) will become available to advanced users.

Novice users could easily mess up uBlock's filtering through dynamic filtering, thus it is not available by default.

On the other hand, if you are familiar with RequestPolicy, then you should have no problem dealing with dynamic filtering.

Important note: Dynamic filtering engine is completely turned off when you un-check the setting "I am an advanced user". Your dynamic filtering rules are kept intact though, in case you re-enable advanced user mode again.

Ability to filter behind-the-scene network requests
