It works exactly like AdBlockPlus in terms of user experience. There's no way that you could have been using ABP and suddenly are flummoxed by uBlock.

If you have things being blocked you don't want, either whitelist the element or find the block rule in your rule list.

YouTube and Facebook definitely both work 'out of the box' with the recommended lists.

Yes, it seems to work well for YouTube and Facebook now that I've had a chance to try it.

Still, I don't think everyone out there who has ABP installed necessarily understands how to use it, or how it works. I have installed it for my wife, and for friends, (the kind of people who spend 90% of their time on a handful of popular sites) and if Facebook or YouTube was broken they wouldn't know why or what to do about it.

EDIT: Spelling
