There's one crucial feature from ABP that I haven't found in my (one week of) uBlock0 usage - the “Open blockable items” feature that allows me to allow and disallow at the level of page elements.

uBlock0, even after checking the “I’m an advanced user” checkbox, seems to have only a granularity of subdomain-level unblocking, so I have to allow all elements from that subdomain if I wish to allow something that's being blocked.

The "Element Picker" provides one half of the functionality of "Open blockable items", but the other half is the much more common usecase to me: to unblock an element that has been blocked. Is there a way to do that at the element level rather than subdomain level? Also, just the ability to see what elements exactly are being blocked is a big usability gain to me, and I don’t know if there’s a way to do that in uBlock0.

Note: I'm on Firefox.

For folks looking how to unblock elements they manually added themselves, you can click the uBlock icon, click the gear icon in the top left corner to go into the 'dashboard'. From there, go to the 'My Filters' tab and it will show you a list of all elements you've blocked manually.

Manually blocking elements is pretty handy for all those annoying social widgets that scroll with you as you read a page or little boxes that pop up in the corner these days referring you to read some other article on the same site.

But the site I was reading, I accidentally blocked the whole main content frame!! Thankfully with a bit of searching was able to get it unblocked....

You can use the uBlock Origin's own logger for logging the network requests that got blocked or allowed in addition to the CSS rules that were affected by your filters.

Please assist this official overview of the logger from the official uBlock Origin own Wiki page: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/The-logger

Good luck.
