Description A Hahn 2019-08-26 20:41:59 UTC 
uBlock Origin contains a feature allowing the user to visually select items on the active page to block. This is a valuable feature because it allows users to select and block pop up boxes on webpages, as well as non-ad content that may be unwanted or interfering with proper use of a webpage.

As someone who frequently browses a diverse range of websites including news journals and blogs using Falkon I want to be able to selectively block elements that may contain ads or elements that are interfering with my use of a webpage. Furthermore, I would like to do it by clicking on unwanted parts of a webpage because having to edit the incoming html would be tedious.
