In uBlock Origin ("uBO"), _strict blocking_ is the blocking of a whole page, i.e. the _root_ document is blocked, so that not a single connection is made to the remote server hosting the web page. In uBlock Origin ("uBO"), _strict blocking_ is the blocking of a whole page, i.e. the _root_ document is blocked, so that not a single connection is made to the remote server hosting the web page.
By default, strict blocking is enabled in uBO (this is the opposite of Adblock Plus). By default, strict blocking is enabled in uBO for domain-only filters (this reduces false-positive matches). To force it on any other pattern matching filter, use [`document`](./Static-filter-syntax#document) or [`all`](./Static-filter-syntax#all) static filter option.
Adblock Plus only blocks secondary resources (see [web pages _themselves_ are **never** filtered](https://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18774#p85439)). This feature is not supported by other blockers, like Adblock Plus, which only blocks secondary resources (see [web pages _themselves_ are **never** filtered](https://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18774#p85439)).
So if you were to create a filter such as `||example.com^`, and then navigate to <https://example.com>, Adblock Plus would not prevent you from connecting and loading the web page itself served at `https://example.com`, though all secondary resources pulled by that web page would be subject to filtering.
