*** uBlock Origin (uBO) is a CPU and memory-efficient [wide-spectrum content blocker][Blocking] for Chromium and Firefox. It blocks ads, trackers, coin miners, popups, annoying anti-blockers, malware sites, etc., by default using [EasyList][EasyList], [EasyPrivacy][EasyPrivacy], [Peter Lowe's Blocklist][Peter Lowe's Blocklist], [Online Malicious URL Blocklist][Malicious Blocklist], and uBO [filter lists][uBO Filters]. There are many other lists available to block even more. Hosts files are also supported. uBO uses the EasyList filter syntax and [extends][Extended Syntax] the syntax to work with custom rules and filters. 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. 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. 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 means. *** * [Documentation](#documentation) * [Installation](#installation) * [Chromium](#chromium) * [Firefox](#firefox) * [Release History](#release-history) * [Translations](#translations) * [About](#about) * [License](#license) * [Privacy Policy] * [Wiki] ## Documentation Basic mode | Advanced-user mode :----------:|:------------------: [Popup user interface]|[A point-and-click firewall that is configurable on a per-site basis][Dynamic Filters]

These other blockers can prevent uBO's privacy or anti-blocker-defusing features from working correctly.
