Description from extension meta

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

Image from store uBlock Origin

Description from store IMPORTANT: uBlock Origin is completely unrelated to the site "ublock.org". CHANGELOG: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases *** An efficient blocker: easy on memory and CPU footprint, and yet can load and enforce thousands more filters than other popular blockers out there. Illustrated overview of its efficiency: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-vs.-ABP:-efficiency-compared Usage: The big power button in the popup is to permanently disable/enable uBlock Origin for the current web site. It applies to the current web site only, it is not a global power button. *** Flexible, it's more than an "ad blocker": it can also read and create filters from hosts files. Out of the box, these lists of filters are loaded and enforced: - EasyList - Peter Lowe’s Ad server list - EasyPrivacy - Malware domains More lists are available for you to select if you wish: - Fanboy’s Enhanced Tracking List - Dan Pollock’s hosts file - hpHosts’s Ad and tracking servers - MVPS HOSTS - Spam404 - And many others Of course, the more filters enabled, the higher the memory footprint. Yet, even after adding Fanboy's two extra lists, hpHosts’s Ad and tracking servers, uBlock Origin still has a lower memory footprint than other very popular blockers out there. Also, be aware that selecting some of these extra lists may lead to higher likelihood of web site breakage -- especially those lists which are normally used as hosts file. *** Free. Open source with public license (GPLv3) For users by users. If ever you really do want to contribute something, think about the people working hard to maintain the filter lists you are using, which were made available to use by all for free. *** Documentation: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#ublock-origin Project change log: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases Contributors @ Github: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/graphs/contributors Contributors @ Crowdin: https://crowdin.net/project/ublock

(2019-12-08) gamedev: uBlock is so essential to chrome, without it browsing would be much more horrible. not only you can block milions of adds but some security features can be enabled too.

(2019-12-06) Syd Bat: I have been using UBO for almost three years and have found that it catches 99% of all ads and other annoyances (depending on the filters used). When I build client computers, or simply do maintenance, I always install UBO to their browser of choice. And I am told by these clients that they never knew how ads were making their Internet experience horrible. UBO FTW!!
(2019-12-06) Mark So: Amazing AdBlock! why did i knew about this now? keep up the good work and keep on blocking ads.

(2019-12-03) Alek R: The best adblocking plugin there is.
(2019-12-03) D C: After uBlock Origin superseded Adblock Plus on my computers for almost a year now I almost forgot what ads were....until today 12/3/2019 when I noticed terribly slow browser performance when using Google Chrome. Not sure if there was an update/change. I honestly thought it was an issue with my internet/router at first but after a few test I can confirm the issue lies with the extension. Symptoms I am experiencing are extremely slow page loads no matter the website. This especially happens when using incognito mode and will at time's cause the browser to become unresponsive when trying to change uBlock Origin's extension settings when it is enabled. Issue disappear's after disabling the uBlock Origin extension. As with everything in life, I get hiccups can happen but uBlock Origin is definitely a cut above the rest. Hope this get's fixed soon so I can continue to enjoy no ad/pop up life once again! Thanks for what you do!

with manifest v3 on the horizon, are you going to publish ublock origin on the microsoft edge addon store so we can keep using the full version? there is currently only a fork by 'Nik Rolls' available.
(2019-12-05, v:1.23.0) John Knox: Doesn't work
I have found one website that uBlock Origin doesn't work on. Mercola.com. When I look at for example the following page https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2019/11/25/nutrients-essential-for-heart-health.aspx I get a pop up about a free e-book. I can right click and use the block element feature to get rid of it however when I am on different articles on the same site e.g. https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2019/11/18/oolong-tea-benefits.aspx the pop up reappears. It only seems to work as a one off or on the individual page I blocked the element on which defeats the whole purpose of a pop up blocker to do it automatically.

Dear Sir/Mam, I want to increase the browsing speed on this "https://www.irctc.co.in" website. Kindly Create an backup profile of Ublock Origin extension to increase the speed of browsing. If this is not possible then please give some tips to browse faster with the help of Ublock Origin. I have already disable some unnecessary objects from that site with the help of "Ublock Picker" option.

(2019-11-20, v:1.23.0) Moshe Zemah: High memory usage
Hello, I'm working at monday.com at it seems like users that uses the uBlock chrome extension, encounter a high memory problem when using our web application. I'm not sure what exactly is the problem but it seems like some of the object in memory don't get released (GCed) when the extension is on. Do you know any reason this can happen? Maybe we have some classes or other attributes on our DOM nodes that may cause ublock to keep reference to them - making them stay in memory? You can contact me by email [email protected] Thanks
(2019-11-19, v:1.23.0) Muriel Harris: Q. about temporarily disabling
Hello, I need to check to see if there is an ad on a website that should not have ads. So I want to temporarily disable uBlock Origin to look at that website. I clicked on the uBlock Origin and thought that disabled it because the symbol was no longer highlighted. But I still don't see any ads on that site, although my husband using his computer without uBlock (and YES, he should be using uBlock Origin as it's superb!) does see ads. So apparently, I haven't completely disabled uBlock temporarily. Is there something else I should do to temporarily disable? I do not want to remove it as I value uBlock and want to turn it back on immediately after checking that website. Could you please reply to the email address I regularly check: [email protected] (and not to the gmail address, which I don't often check). Thanks! Muriel Harris

It just won't do anything. I can't even interact with it
(2019-11-19, v:1.23.0) Caspian Almerud: Blog
Hi! I'm running a blog in Swedish, and some of our readers have voiced a problem with blog posts disappearing when they have uBlock running. It's been the blog posts in which we have some sort of cooperation with a company that've been disappearing. Do you know how we could solve this, or is it something that you as a developer can fix? Kind regards
