A permission-less content blocker. Blocks ads, trackers, miners, and more immediately upon installation.
uBO Lite (uBOL) is a *permission-less* 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 add 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.
uBOL does not require broad "read and modify data" permission at install time, hence its limited capabilities out of the box compared to uBlock Origin or other content blockers requiring broad "read and modify data" permissions at install time.
However, uBOL allows you to *explicitly* grant extended permissions on specific sites of your choice so that it can better filter on those sites using cosmetic filtering and scriptlet injections.
To grant extended permissions on a given site, open the popup panel and pick a higher filtering mode such as Optimal or Complete.
The browser will then warn you about the effects of granting the additional permissions requested by the extension on the current site, and you will have to tell the browser whether you accept or decline the request.
If you accept uBOL's request for additional permissions on the current site, it will be able to better filter content for the current site.
You can set the default filtering mode from uBOL's options page. If you pick the Optimal or Complete mode as the default one, you will need to grant uBOL the permission to read and modify data on all websites.
Keep in mind this is still a work in progress, with these end goals:
- No broad host permissions at install time -- extended permissions are granted explicitly by the user on a per-site basis.
- Entirely declarative for reliability and CPU/memory efficiency.

- (2024-10-27) Joseph: thank you for making this alternative for the chromium browsers that are restricting addons we can use to block ads. I mainly use firefox but i use MS Edge for work and I observed the regular ublock origin addon no longer functioning on youtube.
- (2024-10-20) Jacob: Great v3 alternative to uBlock Origin. It's missing a couple features such as element selection and custom filters, but it still does a pretty good job. Recommended.
- (2024-10-15) Tyler: I've been using this for months and never noticed a difference to the Manifest v2 version as long as I set my filtering mode to 'Complete'
- (2024-08-22) Richard: Until the ability to add a custom filter URL is added to this, it is useless in comparison to uBO
- (2024-06-13) Jim: This new ublock origin lite that is manifest v3 compatible works great!! I was concerned about chromium deprecating v2 but no longer concerned as this app seems to do everything I need :)
- (2024-03-23) Jacob: Excellent extension for the new Manifest V3 API. I don't use the internet without uBO Lite, now.

- (2023-12-13) Ed: this is much lighter and being MV3 based so it will work 2024 and beyond. also it's very effective blocking ads everywhere. but if (only if) it utube detected it you might need additional dns or user agent
- (2023-12-11) Ekacahya: It works, it blocks ads very well like the previous origin version, it's lighter on the browser, and finally, i can get my addon list on Edge without depending on other stores!
