uBlock Origin (uBO) is a CPU and memory-efficient [wide-spectrum content blocker][Blocking] for Chromium and Firefox. It blocks ads, trackers, coin miners, popups, annoying anti-blockers, malware sites, etc., by default after installation using [EasyList][EasyList], [EasyPrivacy][EasyPrivacy], [Peter Lowe's Blocklist][Peter Lowe's Blocklist], [Online Malicious URL Blocklist][Malicious Blocklist], and uBO [filter lists][uBO Filters]. There are many other lists available to block even more. Hosts files are also supported.

After installation, you may easily unselect any preselected filter lists if you think uBO blocks too much. For reference, Adblock Plus installs with only EasyList, ABP filters, and Acceptable Ads enabled by default.
uBO uses the EasyList filter syntax and [extends][Extended Syntax] the syntax to work with custom rules and filters. Also, uBO has an advanced mode that allows it to work in [default-deny mode][Default Deny]. This mode will cause [all 3rd-party network requests][3rd Party Requests] to be blocked by default unless allowed by the user.

It is important to note that using a blocker is **NOT** [theft]. Do not fall for this creepy idea. The _ultimate_ logical consequence of `blocking = theft` is the criminalization of the inalienable right to privacy.
