- In Chrome and Firefox, you'll see a red or gray shield icon containing a stylized 'u' and 'b'. Click that icon to show the main uBlock panel:
- Click the blue power-button image (circle with a line at the top) and uBlock will permanently whitelist the website.
- A grey power-button image means that uBlock is disabled for this website (either it is already whitelisted or the site has no third-party ads or trackers).
- Click the browser's Reload button (next to the URL text area) to reload the page with uBlock disabled.
To Disable uBlock
...
Functionality:
While DUL IT staff strong suggest using uBlock or a similar ad-blocker while you surf the 'net, if you wish to disable it, follow these instructions:
...
- Open a new window or new tab and enter the URL "chrome://extensions/" (if you're not familiar with it, Chrome provides a URL-like interface to many of its internal settings)
- Find uBlock Origin in the card-list and de-select it by clicking the blue slider-button.
...
the instructions below. Note that you cannot disable or remove uBlock from your browsers (it is deployed as a part of the whole staff image), but you can disable its functionality and stop it from interfering with your websurfing.
- Click on the uBlock shield icon and look for the icon with three sliders (hovering over it will say "Open the Dashboard")
- This will open the Dashboard and should open into the "Filter Lists" tab (if not, select that tab from the top menu). It should look something like this:
- This is the list of all the filter list "providers" – other websites that track the ad-trackers and provide lists of websites that participate in third-party ad networks. If you want to retain some ad-blocking, you may want to experiment with de-selecting different block-lists (e.g. un-check just one or two lists and see if a website of interest starts behaving normally)
- If you want to essentially disable uBlock, un-check every one of the provider lists on the "Filter Lists" tab.
- The top two options are not filter-list providers, but you should also un-check them ("Auto-update filter lists" and "Parse and enforce cosmetic filters")
