oh ty, I legitimately didn't know I usually hide extensions icons in safari

> content can load without the blocker being ready to

That issue does not exist for uBO Lite. I specifically wrote in the FAQ under "What are the upsides of an MV3-based content blocker?":

> For Chromium-based browsers specifically, MV3-based content blockers which are entirely declarative will properly filter at browser launch, which is not the case for MV2-based content blockers

uBO Lite is entirely declarative, so it filters properly at browser launch, and I literally give an actual example of this in the following section, search for "filters properly at browser launch".


Cosmetic-based filters and scriptlet injection-based filters work by default, they are enforced in _Optimal_ and _complete_ filtering modes. The default filtering mode is _optimal_.


uBO Lite does support "element picker", it's called "Create a custom filter" in popup panel.


so I can click with cursor over element I don't want to remove it same way as in uBlock Origin?

because without UI manually editing the filter is not an element picker.

I'm unable to find any screenshot of ubol, all I found is some switch between protection levels and all answers I've found in Google to this question say there is no element picker and not going to install it since all my browser still support uBO


> all answers I've found in Google to this question say there is no element picker

Because Google feeds on comments like yours to answer your question about whether there is an element picker, it's bound to be wrong.

You can create your own custom filters using an element picker, and you can manually edit them. See <https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Quick-guide>.


Thanks for your great work, I didn't notice who I am talking to.

Though it doesn't help even on official extension page in both Chrome web store and Microsoft edge add-ons store there is no clear screenshot showing this (tools dashboard after clicking More button few times), if there was clear screenshot of actual advanced/"More" UI with Element zapper/picker, users like me wouldn't have such stupid questions/assumptions and it would be clear from get go.


> can't do "Block Elements"

In uBO Lite, it's called "Create a custom filter" in the popup panel.
