To benefit from the higher efficiency, it is of course not advised to use an
|
|
|
|
|
inefficient blocker at the same time. µBlock will do as well or better than the
|
|
|
|
|
popular blockers out there.

## About
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
µBlock is born out of [HTTP Switchboard](https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard).
|
|
|
|
|
All the niceties of HTTPSB have been removed, and what is left is a straightforward
|
2014-06-23 02:09:30 +02:00
|
|
|
blocker which support EasyList and the likes, and also support host files.
|
|
|
|
|
Cosmetic filters ("element hiding") are supported.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is nothing more to it. But it does what popular blockers out there do, at a
|
2014-06-23 02:14:54 +02:00
|
|
|
fraction of CPU and memory usage for the same blocking power.

Free. Open source. No donations sought. For users by users.
