Pro Tips

• Temporary test: Instead of clicking "Create," click "Preview" to see if the filter works without saving it.
• Undo a mistake: Go to uBlock Dashboard → My filters, delete the line you just added, and click "Apply changes."
• Block by cosmetic filtering only: This method only hides elements visually. It doesn't stop network requests (for that, use the regular "block element" in the picker's other mode).

Example Use Cases

• A user accidentally clicks Block element on a newsletter signup box and now can’t see it to revert.
• A web developer temporarily blocked an element for testing but wants a quick undo.
• A site redesign broke due to a custom filter, and the user needs an immediate unblock without diving into settings.

2. Example Rule: example.com##.video-player-container
3. Identify the line that corresponds to the website where you blocked the element.
