Indeed. I'm no stranger to creating new browser profiles for different things, and the first thing I do when setting up a new profile (in Firefox) is to install uBo. I have it turned off in one profile for sites that break when using it. For some reason, some e-commerce stores don't work with it, because of KYC BS and having them flagging you as suspicious because you're using an AD-blocker. That I can tolerate though (it's finance right?). But for the bulk of my browsing, uBo is essential.
- ziml77 5y agoI turn it off when I'm buying from a site because I've had cases where the blocking interferes with the checkout. In one case recently, when I forgot to disable it, the transaction half went through. I was charged but the order was stuck pending payment and it required me contacting their support team to manually override that.
- favourable 5y agoYeah the reason I have a dedicated profile for e-commerce (with uBo not installed) is that e-commerce sometimes use an array of different domains during the checkout process, and you have to whitelist each domain which is bothersome. Best just not using uBo entirely during the process.
- ziml77 5y agoI keep a Chrome install for when disabling uBlock for the main site doesn't work. Moving over to that also has the benefit of removing Firefox as a reason the checkout might not be working (I tend to assume that the only browser people test for is Chrome). I have had a few cases where even that didn't work and instead I had to switch to my phone and disconnect from my wifi to ensure that the DNS block list I use isn't the problem.
