Though uBlock Origin (uBO) blocks all ads by default, it is not an "ad blocker." It is a wide-spectrum content blocker with CPU and memory efficiency as primary features.
Out of the box, uBO blocks ads, trackers, coin miners, popups, etc. through the following lists of filters, enabled by default:
- EasyList (ads)
- EasyPrivacy (tracking)
- Peter Lowes Ad and tracking server list
- Online Malicious URL Blocklist
- uBO owned lists
More lists are available for you to select if you wish:
- EasyList Cookie List
- Fanboy's Annoyance List
- AdGuard Annoyances
- Dan Pollocks hosts file
- And many others
Additionally, you can point-and-click to block JavaScript locally or globally, create your own global or local rules to override entries from filter lists, and many more advanced features.
