Please revert me to the previous version. We no longer have the option to choose what to blacklist or whitelist on each site. I can't find ANYTHING that is clickable other than removing this extension and finding something else. The previous version was top notch. This one is garbage.

This new UI is horrible. Earlier I can choose what to block and what to unblock, but from time is all or nothing. I don't even see what is blocking and how many... Great addon once but now I'm not sure.

It seems that the extension is blocking recaptcha.net which is used on some sites, to prevent automation. When filling forms, this can cause the form submission to fail. There's no way to whitelist the URL, only to whitelist independent sites

Disconnect blocks Disqus, which powers the comment sections on the majority of web sites, and the new version has no provision to block or unblock specific trackers. In order to use Disqus, Disconnect must be totally disabled. What was once an indispensable add-on is now utterly useless. And for the geniuses complaining that Disconnect doesn't block ads, it isn't an ad blocker. It blocks trackers.

Please, revert to the old U.I. as this seems like its useless now. turning it off changes nothing, i can no longer select what i wanna allow/disallow. I could go on, but i wont. Just revert this apps u.i. back to how it used to be, or give control back to the people who had this for several years! *i do NOT like this new update/U.I.!*

I don't know if this new update made the extension useless like some are claiming, but it sure did mess up the UI completely. No way to see any details on what the extension is actually blocking or doing. No way to disable the number on the icon that displays active blocks. I hate visual clutter pointlessly drawing attention to useless information. I don't need to know how many things are being blocked at any second. I use these blockers to minimize distractions, not to introduce new ones.

Completely worthless now b/c of the V3 nonsense. It's blocking legitimate websites and things I pay money for! So it's getting disabled until you change it back or figure out a way to make this new version function like the old version.

This extension is basically useless now. As much as Manifest V3 sucks, castrating the app for the sake of V3 conformance without providing an alternative legacy version that maintained the useful features of the extension/labelling this as a "Lite" version (similar to what uBlock Origin did), it now offers very little reason to use this anymore :( Removing the useful functionality of this extension, and replacing it with no amount of granularity for which domains can be blocked makes this ex...
