UBlock Origin will, after it is installed, show a little red button with "UB" in small white letters in the upper right corner of the web browser.

Pale Moon and SeaMonkey can not use the current Firefox version. The Firefox version can be installed from.

Using the web without Ublock Origin once you are used to it is absolutely horrible. Most news sites will let you read their news articles just fine when JavaScript is disabled. Disabling JavaScript may have adverse side-effects on some sites and cause them to break.

Clicking the lock icon when JavaScript is temporarily disabled will permanently disable JavaScript on the site you are on.ĭisabling JavaScript on a per-site basis is sometimes faster, easier and better than selecting unwanted elements or writing special per-site rules. Pressing that button disables JavaScript temporarily and brings up three new buttons in the interface. UBlock Origin has a very handy button that looks like that will allow you to turn JavaScript off on a pre-site basis. The lack of garbage surrounding the actual content is apparent.
