EDIT: my uBlock Origin was way outdated, updating fixed it, thanks @heldenstad (have now set add-ons to auto-update too)

---

Just in the last couple of days, I've noticed #ublockorigin has become very aggressive, making even the rendering of Wikipedia pages horrible.

Anyone else get this? I imagine it has something to do with one of the blocklists, but don't know how to figure out which without switching each on off :/

I thought I was having a similar problem with uBlock, I turned it off, but the problem persisted, so I started disabling all other the browser extensions and one at a time and found it was the selected search engine which was doing tracker blocking. Set search engine from Qwant and all working well now.

@douginamug Everything seems ok here.

I can imagine whitelisting Wikipedia won't give annoying issues.

Screenshot wikipedia about Leipzig. Also the ublockorigin pop-up lays over the page.

@heldenstad sure, but it's not just wikipedia - I was using wikipedia as an example of something that I wouldn't expect any list to block.

@douginamug I know. Just as a work-around.

I just noticed you're not using the lastest ublock version. Maybe an update helps?
