Review Summary
UltraBlock is praised for effectively blocking ads and trackers, improving browser speed, and being lightweight with good user control. However, multiple users report issues with Twitch compatibility, missing UI features in some browsers, and blocking media content without easy exceptions. Some also experience unexpected logouts. One review alleges malicious behavior causing redirects and fake messages, though this is isolated. Overall, the extension excels in blocking capabilities and performance but has some compatibility and usability concerns.
