Description from store
uBO Lite (uBOL) is an 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.

- Currently works half way with youtube. While the annoying adblocker warning does appear, simply clicking a "recommended video" on the right then immediately clicking back purges the warning and plays the video normally. Can't wait for this to work properly again.

- Stopped blocking YouTube ads, error displays: Ad blockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service It looks like you may be using an ad blocker. Video playback is blocked unless YouTube is allowlisted or the ad blocker is disabled. Ads allow YouTube to be used by billions worldwide. You can go ad-free with YouTube Premium and creators can still get paid from your subscription.

- The real OG because Google/YouTube can go do one. I will not buy any products from them if they shove ads in my face all the time. Just adding to the list of reviews that I love this app and hope to see a fix soon because as of 19/12/2025 the blocker isn't working with the latest YT update.

- Youtube ads are worst than cable TV from 1990 which had better ads for things people actually would have wanted. Now ads are scammy subscription services and bad products nobody wants.

- Hello, Google. Please stop being so greedy. You’re already earning $XXX,XXX,XXX every second, yet you still want $XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX. Millions are getting “cancer” from the frustration caused by ads. More power to the uBO team!

- It's wild y'all keep giving low stars because it's currently battling with yt people. They always manage to get it back. This is a 5* ext always. Keep up the good work, folks. Free and open internet for all.

- Excellent blocker. I didn't want to switch from uBlock Origin because I thought this Lite one didn't have some features I wanted, but it turns out you *can* set your own cosmetic filters and trusted sites. Successfully imported them from uBlock Origin with no issues. Also, it works on YouTube again.

- Brave browser seems to be blocking ads successfully. Will be using that until/if this gets updated. YouTube fkn sucks now. A once great website ruined by corporate greed.

- don't go for anything else this is all you need nothing more nothing less
- Madison Schultz
- Incredibly impressed with the fix since chrome is blocking the full extension from the web store. 10 stars out of 5 honestly for actively decreasing memory usage and making websites usable again.
- Musco Karapoti
- This product is honestly amazing. It works really well and gives solid protection from Aggressive AD. I’ve been genuinely impressed with how much better it is than I expected. Definitely a five-star.
- Jevilstail
- It works and it's the best thing that exists. People are having playback issues, and this is not uBlock's fault, it's another attempt by corporate scum Youtube to get people disabling their adblock. They admitted to this on twitter, so please do not fall for it. Can get another extension for the Youtube playback speed controls to return until uBlock repairs it.
