Dynamic filtering is a useful feature security-wise. For example, blocking 3rd-party `<iframe>` by default would have protected users in the case of the [jQuery.com malware attack](http://www.riskiq.com/resources/blog/jquerycom-malware-attack-puts-privileged-enterprise-it-accounts-risk). Disabling inline javascript is also often useful to work around anti-blockers on some sites. Using dynamic filtering can help speed up _significantly_ how fast web pages load.
See [examples of usefulness/benefits](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering---examples) of using dynamic filtering.
Of course, blocking portion of a page may cause page breakage, sometimes benign, sometimes severe. It is up to the user to choose how to make use of this feature.

Dynamic filters are always deemed [important](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Filter-syntax-extensions#network-filters), thus they will show up with the `important` filter option attached to them. When a network request is blocked because of a dynamic filtering default setting, the hostname will be reported as `*`, as seen in the picture above.
