uBlock Origin Lite
Description from store

uBO Lite (uBOL) is an efficient MV3-based content blocker.

The default ruleset corresponds to uBlock Origin's default filterset:

- uBlock Origin's built-in filter lists
- EasyList
- EasyPrivacy
- Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list

You can enable more rulesets by visiting the options page -- click the _Cogs_ icon in the popup panel.

uBOL is entirely declarative, meaning there is no need for a permanent uBOL process for the filtering to occur, and CSS/JS injection-based content filtering is performed reliably by the browser itself rather than by the extension. This means that uBOL itself does not consume CPU/memory resources while content blocking is ongoing -- uBOL's service worker process is required _only_ when you interact with the popup panel or the option pages.

Honestly really solid, It has blocked every ad up to this point. The installation was super easy and simple, I just downloaded it and boom, it was good to go.

Thank you for the great uBlock Origin extension. If configured correctly, I use four filters: EasyPrivacy, AdGuard/uBO – URL Tracking Protection, uBlock filters – Badware risks, and Malicious URL Blocklist. This allows me to block tracking without blocking ads, reduces device load, and doesn’t interfere with content creators earning from advertising.

Smooth ad blocker. Freeware, opens-source. My special thanks to developers. You are talented people!
George Solomonides

Kirk Gale
Ublock has been around forever and it still rocks. Blocks all ads including Youtube.
Usmon Qodirov

It's a fairly good adblock, however it is dysfunctional on spotify, hence the missing star.

uBlock Origin Lite is a fantastic lightweight ad blocker that's perfect for modern browsers like Chrome and Edge. As a streamlined version of the legendary uBlock Origin, it skips the advanced scripting features to comply with Manifest V3 rules, but it still crushes ads, trackers, and pop-ups with impressive efficiency—using just a fraction of the resources of heavier alternatives. In my testing, it blocked intrusive YouTube ads, sponsored social media posts, and creepy trackers on news sites without slowing down page loads or draining battery life. The interface is dead simple: enable it, pick filter lists (like EasyList or EasyPrivacy), and forget it. No unnecessary permissions, no paywalls, and it's 100% open-source and free.

One of the best and needed extension

Works perfectly—no ads, no complaints.

Despite being the Lite version, it is still effective. Together with Privacy Badger, it provides reasonable protection against tracking in Chrome.
Grogro Milazzo
It still works and is useful despite its Lite condition. The missing star is due to its non-functionality on spotify.

Can custom filters include a timestamp display (like creation date) and a field for adding notes? After a while,it's easy to forget what the filter actually does

Wonderful extension

Naz
It's open source and free, can't thank the team enough for this. Don't even wish to imagine the web browsing experience without this.

Life altering, thank you SO SO much

Words cannot describe how this extensioin makes me feel. My life changed the day I found out this existed. Other adblockers (especially the paid ones) shouldn't exist because this is just better. This is so good it does and the foremost what it's supposed to do, BLOCK ANNOYING ADS and no gimmicks. Thebest part is that IT IS COMPLETELY FREE, no subscription. 2 years or so going strong, I can't imagine using chrome without it. Luckily it is now available on Safari as well. To the team or whoever it is at UBlock, I just want to say a massive thank you, I love you all.
Chris
Just got this to remove the stupid '✧ Upgrade to Google AI Ultra' ads in gemini. It works!
Chaotic Moira
Works as good as the original. I don't know how other blockers even exist. This is the only one I have found always blocks everything. And as a bonus, it is so easy to delete any page element.

So perfect, it let's me create a custom filter and remove elements buttons and adversitments 2. I hate ads so much 3. somehow it let's your shortcuts website have a cached and broken looking site sooo clear cached browsing data 4. that's all nothing to say
