    Too right! I doubt I'd be able to use much of the net without an adblocker.

    I have this lines in My rules tab:
    Code:
    no-scripting: behind-the-scene false
    behind-the-scene * 3p noop
    behind-the-scene * 3p-frame noop
    Are they good to be there?
    Are they there by default or some is deprecated?

    I use uBlock Origin on Chrome only. Is it safe to delete these lines in Whitelist tab?
    Code:
    moz-extension-scheme
    opera-scheme
    vivaldi-scheme
    wyciwyg-scheme

    @Mr.X - The default uBO whitelist directives are detailed here, and it advises against removing them since doing so could cause browser malfunction. Hope this helps!

    Thanks, I had already read the article before but just asking if all four are really needed for a Chrome browser.

    I am pretty sure they are there by default. I have them (in Firefox).

    They are there by default. Delete at your own risk. And don't say you weren't warned multiple times if your browser takes a hard crash, i.e. "totaled"!

    What exactly you mean to say?
    That you don't have them and browser's working properly?
    Is that Chrome?

    That's Chrome and don't have them (removed them #3687 as I recall) and Chrome as far as I know is working properly.

    Why does the Aaklist have a delete or trash can icon and the others don't.

    In general all filters added by the user have a trash icon and can be removed. All others filters are "fixed".

    What would happen if i clicked on the trash can and apply the changes. Why not just uncheck it.

    Then the filter list will be gone from the list.
    If you want to re-use a filter list at a later time it is better to uncheck it, instead of removing it completely.

    it is not wise to touch pre-installed rules...

    Well that's because I'm very unwise.

    Actually it's safe to remove them when you use uBO on Chrome. You may even remove chrome-scheme if you never use URLs starting from chrome:// tho I don't recommend doing so. I remember the days there's behind-the-scene whitelist which I removed and manually made rules for those requests.
    If you use Firefox, you can remove anything other than about-scheme, moz-extension-scheme, and wyciwyg-scheme. But there's not much benefit by removing them either.

    Guys, I'm not being funny, but how to remove those electronic stripping girls on certain adult websites? It seems that blocking third party frames and inline scripts don't block them. :doubt:
