What? You just install the uBlock Origin extension. Are you saying it overrides domain and element blocks from uBlock?

It's open source so if you could point to the code that does it, that would be great: https://github.com/kiwibrowser/src

Didn't know that. I also got some kind of shady vibes from Kiwi, but never run into any issues with it. Firefox was causing all kinds of problems with pages failing to load so I bailed, but would be glad to return if they fix the bugs and add full extension support.
