µBlock doesn't have a _"Block element"_ entry in the contextual menu (right-click). The element picker can be used though to pick whatever element you do not want to see. Nobody asked for a contextual menu entry yet, so I don't consider it a sought-after feature, hence I didn't spend time implementing it.
Regular expression-based filters are not supported. At time of writing I see three such filters in _EasyList_, and none in _EasyPrivacy_. So rather uncommon. I may support them if there is really a need, but only for those which will have the `domain` filter option set: otherwise it's just impossible to implement efficiently such filters, and µBlock won't encourage their use by supporting these. For all the instances I have seen, it is possible to translate them into more efficient non-regex-based filters. Regular expression-based filters are not supported.

Filters with the `$elemhide` option are ignored. At time of writing, I see 50 such filters in _EasyList_. The purpose of these filters is to disable cosmetic filters on specific sites.
