An efficient blocker: Fast, potent and lean, and yet can load and enforce thousands more filters than other popular blockers out there.

Usage: The big power button in the popup is to permanently disable/enable uBlock for the current web site. It applies to the current web site only, it is not a global power button.


Flexible, it's more than an "ad blocker": it can also read and create filters from hosts files.
