Fast, potent, and lean.**\n\nuBlock Origin is **NOT** an \"ad blocker\": [it is a wide-spectrum blocker](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode) -- which happens to be able to function as a mere \"ad blocker\". The default behavior of uBlock Origin when newly installed is to block ads, trackers and malware sites -- through [_EasyList_](https://easylist.github.io/#easylist), [_EasyPrivacy_](https://easylist.github.io/#easyprivacy), [_Peter Lowe’s ad/tracking/malware servers_](https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/policy.php), various lists of [malware](http://www.malwaredomainlist.com/) [sites](http://www.malwaredomains.com/), and uBlock Origin's [own filter lists](https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/tree/master/filters).\n\n* [Documentation](#documentation)\n* [Purpose \u0026 General Info](#philosophy)\n* [Performance and Efficiency](#performance)\n  * [Memory](#memory)\n  * [CPU](#cpu)\n  * [Blocking](#blocking)\n  * [Quick tests](#quick-tests)\n* [Installation](#installation)\n  * [Chromium](#chromium)\n  * [Firefox](#firefox--firefox-for-android)\n  * [Microsoft Edge](#microsoft-edge)\n  - [Safari (macOS)](#safari-macos)\n* [Release History](#release-history)\n* [Privacy policy](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Privacy-policy)\n* [Wiki](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki)\n\n## Documentation\n\n Basic mode | Advanced-user mode\n:----------:|:------------------:\n[Popup user interface](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Quick-guide:-popup-user-interface) | [A point-and-click firewall which can be configured on a per-site basis](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-quick-guide) \n\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Quick-guide:-popup-user-interface\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/585534/38453883-09446c74-3a2b-11e8-9440-dbeb319b0f28.png\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003csup\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e.\u003c/sup\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-quick-guide\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/585534/38453884-0bb2ac8c-3a2b-11e8-942a-16071cc8f855.png\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003csup\u003eConfigure as you wish:\u003cbr\u003epicture shows 3rd-party scripts and frames blocked by default everywhere\u003c/sup\u003e\n\nVisit the [uBlock Origin's wiki](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki) for documentation.\n\nFor support/questions/help, there is [/r/uBlockOrigin](https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/) on Reddit.\n\n## Philosophy\n\nuBlock Origin (or uBlock₀) is not an *ad blocker*; it's a general-purpose blocker. uBlock₀ blocks ads through its support of the [Adblock Plus filter syntax](https://adblockplus.org/en/filters). uBlock₀ [extends](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Filter-syntax-extensions) the syntax and is designed to work with custom rules and filters. Furthermore, advanced mode allows uBlock₀ to work in [default-deny mode](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-default-deny), which mode will cause [all 3rd-party network requests](https://requestpolicycontinued.github.io/#what-are-cross-site-requests) to be blocked by default, unless allowed by the user.\n\nThat said, it's important to note that using a blocker is **NOT** [theft](https://twitter.com/LeaVerou/status/518154828166725632). Don't fall for this creepy idea. The _ultimate_ logical consequence of `blocking = theft` is the criminalisation of the inalienable right to privacy.\n\nAds, \"unintrusive\" or not, are just the visible portions of privacy-invading apparatus entering your browser when you visit most sites nowadays. **uBlock₀'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 [µMatrix](https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix)).\n\n_EasyList_, _Peter Lowe's Adservers_, _EasyPrivacy_ and _Malware domains_ are enabled by default when you install uBlock₀. Many more lists are readily available to block trackers, analytics, and more. Hosts files are also supported.\n\nOnce you install uBlock₀, you may easily un-select any of the pre-selected filter lists if you think uBlock₀ blocks too much. For reference, Adblock Plus installs with only _EasyList_ enabled by default.\n\n## Performance\n\n#### Memory\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\nOn average, uBlock Origin does make your browser run leaner. \u003csup\u003e[1]\u003c/sup\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nChromium\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/585534/10074141/15f04128-629c-11e5-9155-177fd4909083.png\" /\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFirefox\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/585534/10074130/0577118c-629c-11e5-9902-bf367c6a96c3.png\" /\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003csup\u003e[1] Details of the benchmark available at \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Firefox-version:-benchmarking-memory-footprint\"\u003eFirefox version: benchmarking memory footprint\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/sup\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n#### CPU\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\nuBlock Origin is also easy on the CPU\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gorhill/uBlock/master/doc/benchmarks/cpu-usage-overall-chart-20141226.png\" /\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003csup\u003eDetails of the benchmark available in \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/master/doc/benchmarks/cpu-usage-overall-20141226.ods\"\u003ethis LibreOffice spreadsheet\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/sup\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n#### Blocking\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\nBeing lean and efficient doesn't mean blocking less\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gorhill/uBlock/master/doc/benchmarks/privex-201502-16.png\" /\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003csup\u003eFor details of benchmark, see \n\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-and-others%3A-Blocking-ads%2C-trackers%2C-malwares\"\u003euBlock₀ and others: Blocking ads, trackers, malwares\u003c/a\u003e.\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n## Installation\n\nFeel free to read [about the extension's required permissions](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Permissions).\n\n#### Chromium\n\nYou can install the latest version [manually](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/tree/master/dist#install), from the [Chrome Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm), or from the [Opera store](https://addons.opera.com/extensions/details/ublock/).\n\nThere is also a development version in the Chrome store if you want to test uBlock Origin with the latest changes: see [_uBlock Origin dev build_](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin-dev-build/cgbcahbpdhpcegmbfconppldiemgcoii).\n\nIt is expected that uBlock Origin is compatible with any Chromium-based browsers.\n\n#### Firefox / Firefox for Android\n\n[Firefox Add-ons web site](https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/ublock-origin/).\n\nThere is also a development version if you want to test uBlock Origin with the latest changes: for installation, see [Install / Firefox webext / For beta version](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/master/dist/README.md#for-beta-version)\n\nuBlock Origin is compatible with [SeaMonkey](http://www.seamonkey-project.org/), [Pale Moon](https://www.palemoon.org/), and possibly other browsers based on Firefox: for installation, see [Install / Firefox legacy](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/master/dist/README.md#firefox-legacy).\n\nThanks to Debian contributor [Sean Whitton](https://wiki.debian.org/SeanWhitton), users of Debian 9 or later or Ubuntu 16.04 or later may simply\n`apt-get install xul-ext-ublock-origin`.\n\n#### Microsoft Edge\n\nDeveloper: [@nikrolls](https://github.com/nikrolls).\n\nStable version available in [Microsoft Store](https://www.microsoft.com/store/p/app/9nblggh444l4).\n\nDevelopment version available at \u003chttps://github.com/nikrolls/uBlock-Edge#edge\u003e.\n\nNote that issues specific to the Edge fork are the responsibility of the current maintainer, I have no control over the code base of the fork.\n\n#### Safari (macOS)\n\nDeveloper: [@el1t](https://github.com/el1t).\n\nDevelopment version available at \u003chttps://github.com/el1t/uBlock-Safari#ublock-originfor-safari\u003e.\n\nNote 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.\n\n#### Note for all browsers\n\nTo benefit from uBlock Origin's higher efficiency, it's advised that you don't use other inefficient blockers at the same time (such as AdBlock or Adblock Plus). uBlock₀ will do [as well or better](#blocking) than most popular ad blockers. Other blockers can also prevent uBlock₀'s privacy or anti-blocker features from working properly.\n\n#### Deploying\n\nBelow is documentation to assist administrators in deploying uBlock Origin:\n\n- [Deploying uBlock Origin](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Deploying-uBlock-Origin)\n    - Firefox: [Deploying uBlock Origin for Firefox with CCK2 and Group Policy](http://decentsecurity.com/ublock-for-firefox-deployment/) (external)\n    - Google Chrome: [Managing Google Chrome with adblocking and security](https://decentsecurity.com/ublock-for-google-chrome-deployment/) (external)\n\n## Release History\n\nSee the [releases pages](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases) for a history of releases and highlights for each release.\n\n## About\n\n[uBlock Origin's manifesto](MANIFESTO.md).\n\nFree.
