I will just quote what I just answered on Reddit:

With uBO the default and sane assumption is that the internet is hostile and given this, disabling content blocking everywhere by default would be incompatible with uBO.

Damn I found it while searching for such option 😁

I want it turned off by default and to turn it on just on select few webpages
