An efficient blocker for Chromium-based browsers. Fast and lean. Written from scratch. Development
through benchmarking.
**µBlock is not an "ad blocker", it's a blocker in the broad sense**, which happens to block ads through its support of [Adblock Plus filters](https://adblockplus.org/en/filters). _EasyList_, _EasyPrivacy_ and _Peter Lowe's Adservers_ list are enabled by default when you install µBlock. Many more lists are readily available to protect yourself from trackers, analytics, data mining, and more ads.
**µBlock is not an "ad blocker", it's a blocker in the broad sense**, which happens to block ads through its support of [Adblock Plus filters](https://adblockplus.org/en/filters).
_EasyList_, _EasyPrivacy_ and _Peter Lowe's Adservers_ list are enabled by default when you install µBlock. Many more lists are readily available to protect yourself from trackers, analytics, data mining, and more ads.
In my opinion, ads are just the visible portions of privacy-invading apparatus entering your browser when you visit most sites nowadays.
My main goal with µBlock is to help users neutralize as much as can be privacy-invading apparatus (of which ads are the visible portion) for users who do not want to deal with more technical means like [HTTP Switchboard](https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard#http-switchboard-for-chromium).
