uBO is **NOT** an "ad blocker"; it is a [wide-spectrum content blocker][Blocking] for Chromium and Firefox with CPU and memory efficiency as primary features.

**An efficient blocker add-on for various browsers. Fast, potent, and lean.**

## Philosophy
uBO is **NOT** an "ad blocker"; it is a wide-spectrum content blocker. uBO blocks ads through the EasyList filter syntax and [extends][Extended Syntax] the syntax to work with custom rules and filters. Furthermore, the advanced mode allows uBO to work in [default-deny mode][Default Deny], which will cause [all 3rd-party network requests][3rd Party Requests] to be blocked by default unless allowed by the user.
uBlock Origin (or uBlock₀) is not an *ad blocker*; it's a general-purpose blocker. uBlock Origin blocks ads through its support of the [Adblock Plus filter syntax][How To Filters]. uBlock Origin [extends][Extended Syntax] the syntax and is designed to work with custom rules and filters. Furthermore, advanced mode allows uBlock Origin to work in [default-deny mode][Default Deny], which mode will cause [all 3rd-party network requests][3rd Party Requests] to be blocked by default, unless allowed by the user.
It is important to note that using a blocker is **NOT** [theft]. Do not fall for this creepy idea. The _ultimate_ logical consequence of `blocking = theft` is the criminalization of the inalienable right to privacy.
That said, it's important to note that using a blocker is **NOT** [theft]. Don't fall for this creepy idea. The _ultimate_ logical consequence of `blocking = theft` is the criminalisation of the inalienable right to privacy.
Ads, "unintrusive" or not, are just the visible portion of the privacy-invading means entering your browser when you visit most sites. **uBO's primary goal is to help users neutralize these privacy-invading methods** in a way that welcomes those users who do not wish to use more technical, involved means (such as [uMatrix]).
Ads, "unintrusive" or not, are just the visible portions of privacy-invading apparatus entering your browser when you visit most sites nowadays. **uBlock Origin's main goal is to help users neutralize such privacy-invading apparatus** — in a way that welcomes those users who don't wish to use more technical, involved means (such as [uMatrix]).
EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Peter Lowe's Blocklist, Online Malicious URL Blocklist, and uBO's filter lists are enabled by default when you install uBO. Many other lists are available to block trackers, analytics, and more. Hosts files are also supported.
_EasyList_, _EasyPrivacy_, _Peter Lowe's_, _Online Malicious URL Blocklist_ and uBO's own lists are enabled by default when you install uBlock Origin. Many more lists are readily available to block trackers, analytics, and more. Hosts files are also supported.
Once you install uBO, you may easily unselect any preselected filter lists if you think uBO blocks too much. For reference, Adblock Plus installs with only EasyList, ABP filters, and Acceptable Ads enabled by default.

uBO Firefox Legacy should be compatible with [SeaMonkey], [Pale Moon], or any other browsers based on Firefox.
[Debian Package][Debian Package]
uBO also can be installed as a Debian package.
uBO may also be installed as a [Debian package][Debian Package]:
- Firefox 56-: `apt-get install xul-ext-ublock-origin`
- Firefox 55+: `apt-get install webext-ublock-origin`

#### All Browsers
#### Microsoft Edge
Do **NOT** use any other content blocker concurrently with uBO to benefit from uBO's higher efficiency. uBO will [perform][Performance] as well as or better than most of the other popular ad blockers. Other blockers can prevent uBO's privacy or anti-blocker-defusing features from working correctly.
Publisher: [Nicole Rolls].
Do **NOT** use uBO along with other [similarly-purposed blockers][Similarly-Purposed].
Chromium-based Edge: Stable version available in [Microsoft Edge Add-ons][Edge].
#### Enterprise Deployment
#### Safari (macOS)
[Deploying uBO][Deployment]
Developer: [@el1t].
Development version available at <https://github.com/el1t/uBlock-Safari#ublock-originfor-safari>.
Warning: It is not possible for extensions like uBlock Origin to work with Safari 13+. See <https://github.com/el1t/uBlock-Safari/issues/158>.
Note that issues specific to the Safari fork are the responsibility of the current maintainer, I have no control over the code base of the fork.
#### Note for all browsers
To benefit from uBlock Origin's higher efficiency, it's advised that you don't use other content blockers at the same time (such as Adblock Plus, AdBlock). uBlock Origin will do [as well or better][Performance] than most popular ad blockers. Other blockers can also prevent uBlock Origin's privacy or anti-blocker-defusing features from working properly.
