uBlock Origin Lite

A permission-less content blocker. Blocks ads, trackers, miners, and more immediately upon installation.

Introducing uBlock Origin Lite (uBOL)

uBlock Origin Lite (uBOL) is a powerful, permission-less content blocker designed to keep your browsing experience smooth and unobtrusive. Built on Manifest V3, uBOL leverages the same core filter lists as uBlock Origin, including EasyList and EasyPrivacy, to promptly block ads, trackers, and more upon installation.

What sets uBOL apart is its declarative approach to filtering. Unlike traditional content blockers, it requires no continuous background process, meaning it consumes minimal CPU and memory while effectively filtering content. Users can seamlessly enable additional filter rules via the options page, ensuring optimal performance and customizable blocking capabilities. By explicitly granting permissions on specific sites, uBOL enhances its filtering effectiveness, letting users tailor their experience for each website. Whether you want basic ad-blocking or advanced controls, uBlock Origin Lite is the perfect tool for keeping your browsing clean and efficient.
