simpleBlock

Finally, an efficient blocker. Easy on CPU and memory.

simpleBlock - The Simple Yet Efficient Chrome Ad Blocker

simpleBlock is a Chrome extension that serves as an efficient blocker, designed to be easy on CPU and memory usage. It is a close variation of uBlock Origin with one main difference - its interface contains a global on/off switch rather than a whitelist-site button which caters to users who prefer a global switch. The extension's performance is on par with uBlock Origin, with no added features or tracking.
