I'm in the same boat. My main objection to uBO is the cryptic UI. I have no idea what the two columns to the right of a domain are as there's no column headings, or the two nested buttons in each column, one of which is grey (where I'd assume there'd be green to counter the red?), or the "+"/"++" that sometimes appear over said buttons... Or the green bars that creep in from the far left over the domain names, at staggering lengths.

The uMatrix UI on the other hand was incredibly intuitive, and more granular. Then again, maybe that comes down to me not understanding what the hell is going on with uBO's UI.

All your questions can be answered by reading over the documentation in the uBo github wiki.

With the uMatrix UI, the answers were immediately obvious without reading a wiki.

Well-designed software shouldn't require the average user to read documentation to understand basic features

[unethical_ban]

Doesn't that UI only present itself if you declare yourself an advanced user?

[lazyweb]

Yes exactly. If you don't understand the controls, reading the linked FAQ is really worth it and doesn't take that long.

[ProNeo]

Having the exact same issues. If someone could clarify that would be awesome.

That panel is described in some detail here [1], though even after reading it the click behaviour is very unintuitive. It's explicitly an advanced-user thing, though, and only shown if you click "More" on the basic popup.

That link doesn't seem to actually describe the advanced mode panel in any detail at all. The link that does is https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-qu...
