To this effect, the developer of this addon has carefully selected a set of stable and widely used filters lists, updated daily. The following lists are used by default:\n\n* EasyList (ads)\n* EasyList Cookies (annoyances)\n* Peter Lowe’s Ad server list (ads and tracking)\n* EasyPrivacy (tracking)\n* uBlock filters (ads + tracking + annoyances)\n\n(*) The source code weighs ~70KB gzipped and ~190KB uncompressed. The raw memory usage is less than 5MB (1.7MB reported in about:performance), which is smaller than any other adblocker extension.\n\n(**) The blocker is initialized in less than 200ms, even on cold start, which means that ads and trackers are blocked as soon as your browser starts.\n\n## Building\n\nBuilding code from https://github.com/remusao/blockrz can be done with:\n\n1. Build the extension: `yarn install --frozen-lock \u0026\u0026 yarn bundle`\n2. Load it in Firefox or Chromium by using the \"Load unpacked extension\" feature\n\n## FAQ\n\n\u003e Is it really less than 100 lines of code?\n\nYes.\n\n```sh\n$ loc content-script.ts background.ts\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n Language             Files        Lines        Blank      Comment         Code\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n TypeScript               2          132           14           60           58\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n Total                    2          132           14           60           58\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n```\n\n\u003e It's tiny, does it actually perform like other blocker extensions?\n\nYes it is small, but it leverages\n[@cliqz/adblocker](https://github.com/cliqz-oss/adblocker) to do the\nheavy-lifting. This means that the extension is doing as much as any other\ncontent-blocker (if you make abstraction of the UI, of course, which only\nconsists in a counter of blocked requests). At the time of this writing, this\nis still the fastest and most memory efficient adblocker around.\n\n\u003e Which filters lists is it using?\n\nCurrently, it is using a pre-built engine distributed on Cliqz' CDN.\nThis means that no parsing is required client-side to load the engine\n(super-fast loading cached between sessions!). The default lists at the\ntime of this writing are:\n\n* [EasyList](https://easylist.to/easylist/easylist.txt)\n* [EasyPrivacy](https://easylist.to/easylist/easyprivacy.txt)\n* [Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list](https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=adblockplus\u0026showintro=0\u0026mimetype=plaintext)\n* [uBlock filters](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/master/filters/filters.txt)\n* [uBlock filters - Privacy](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/master/filters/privacy.txt)\n* [uBlock filters - Resource abuse](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/master/filters/resource-abuse.txt)\n* [uBlock filters - Badware risks](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/master/filters/badware.txt)\n* [uBlock filters - Unbreak](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/master/filters/unbreak.txt)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fremusao%2Fblockrz","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fremusao%2Fblockrz","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fremusao%2Fblockrz/lists"}
