No, it doesn't block "whatever you want it to". It blocks requests to sites that match specific patterns. It can't block actual malware. If a new site popped up with malware on it, uBlock is useless. That doesn't mean it's not a great tool; it is, but people who overstate what it actually does are contributing to a greater problem, which is people thinking they are more secure than they are!

Y'know, I've heard this one multiple times over the years, and it still astounds me that people bring it up.
It's just wrong on so many levels.
Ignoring the fact that most of the Internet runs on Linux, Windows by default enables services which have dangerous flaws in them. It also stores passwords insecurely, doesn't do separation of privileges properly, etc.
You can sit in a Windows network and compromise it usually without using any malware, by exploiting these weaknesses.
