An efficient blocker: easy on memory and CPU footprint, and yet can load and enforce thousands more filters than other popular blockers out there.
Usage: The big fat power button in the popup is to permanently disable/enable µBlock 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
- EasyPrivacy
- Malware domains
- Long-lived malware domains
- Peter Lowes Ad server list
- Malware Domains List
More lists are available for you to select if you wish:
- Fanboys Enhanced Tracking List
- Dan Pollocks hosts file
- hpHostss Ad and tracking servers
- MVPS HOSTS
- Spam404
- Etc.
Of course, the more filters enabled, the higher the memory footprint. Yet, even after adding Fanboy's two extra lists, hpHostss Ad and tracking servers, µBlock still has a lower memory footprint than other very popular blockers out there.
