3. Select the 'My filters' tab.

To Customize

Removing Filters

If FixTheWeb breaks a website or removes functionality from a website that you want, simply navigate to the uBlock Origin 'My filters' tab and remove the relevant lines from the filters document, and click 'Apply changes'.

Adding Filters

To add a filter - and thereby block an annoying piece of content from appearing on a website - click the UBlock Origin icon, select element picker mode (the eyedropper button), click on the piece of content you'd like to block, and click 'create' when the dialog box appears. See the image above for the location of the element picker tool.
