I am going to collect here common usage issues users may face.

Unable to open links in new tab

If you answer "yes" to both questions above, this is your problem (from link above):

Caveat for Chromium-based browsers: Due to Chromium API limitations, it's not possible for uBlock to determine for sure whether a new tab being opened is that of a popup, or is the result of a legitimate click on a link by the user. So if the no-popups switch is in use, you won't be able to open a link in a new tab through the context menu.

Links to social networks are blocked

Because you enabled "Fanboy’s Social Blocking List", or one of the filter lists which includes it, like "Fanboy’s Annoyance List" or "Fanboy+Easylist-Merged Ultimate List".

My antivirus flags uBlock

False positive.

uBlock ships with malware filter lists, and this causes false positives in some antiviruses.

uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.
