Roughly similar to using Adblock Plus with many filter lists + NoScript with 1st-party scripts/frames automatically whitelisted. Unlike NoScript however, you can easily point-and-click to block/allow scripts _on a per-site basis_.
Blocking-wise, this is one significant leap from [easy mode](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-easy-mode). However, be ready to accept you will have to un-break web sites, though at a lesser rate than [hard mode](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-hard-mode), since passive 3rd-party resources (i.e. images, css) are not blocked in medium mode.

This is where you start to use [dynamic filtering](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering), a feature available only when you tell uBlock Origin that you are an [advanced user](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Advanced-user-features). Be sure to read [the guide](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering) before, it is assumed that you understand well how dynamic filtering works in order to use effectively medium mode.

Using medium mode will improve significantly your browser performance, and similarly reduce significantly your privacy exposure when compared to easy mode.

##### Characteristics
- Web pages will load significantly faster compared to the [_easy mode_](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-easy-mode).
- Your privacy exposure will be significantly reduced compared to easy mode.
- You no longer depends mostly on 3rd-party filter lists to dictate what is blocked or not.
- The static filter lists are still used to mop up whatever network requests is not blocked in this mode -- so double protection.
- High likelihood of web pages being broken: you have to be ready and willing to fix them when this happen.

Using local noop rules ensure that the resulting lesser blocking mode applies _only_ to the current site, so that medium mode is still enforced everywhere else.
