Happy browsing
Most ad blockers have a "Hide Element" or "Nuke" feature that lets you right-click any annoying part of a page and make it disappear. While helpful for removing "Subscribe to our Newsletter" pop-ups, these manual blocks are saved in your settings. If a website updates its design, those old manual blocks might start hiding legitimate content.

Open the Element Picker: Click the uBlock Origin icon in your browser toolbar and select the "eyedropper" icon.
