-## What is uBlock?
-
-uBlock is a general-purpose blocker — not an *ad blocker* specifically.
-
-uBlock blocks ads through its support of the [Adblock Plus filter syntax](https://adblockplus.org/en/filters). uBlock [extends](https://github.com/chrisaljoudi/uBlock/wiki/Filter-syntax-extensions) the syntax and is designed to work with custom rules and filters.
-
-uBlock's main goal is to help users neutralize privacy-invading apparatus — ads being one example.
-
-[Feel free to read about uBlock's development philosophy](https://chrismatic.io/ublock/philosophy).

  * Due to Mozilla's review process, the version of uBlock available from the Add-ons homepage is currently often outdated. This isn't in our control.
 
 * **Opera**: Opera shares Chrome's underlying engine, so you can install uBlock simply by grabbing the [latest release for Chrome](https://github.com/chrisaljoudi/uBlock/releases/latest).
 
+uBlock has tooltips throughout its UI to help you along. But just in case you need it, [here's a quick guide for basic usage](https://github.com/chrisaljoudi/uBlock/wiki/Quick-guide:-popup-user-interface).

 ## Tips
 
 * **To benefit from uBlock's higher efficiency,** it's advised that you don't use other inefficient blockers at the same time (such as AdBlock or Adblock Plus). uBlock will do [as well or better](#blocking) than most popular ad blockers.
