What's New in uBlock Origin Lite

2026.1026.1812

October 27, 2026

- Fix permission grant routing - Updated filter lists - Note: When the extension updates, allow for a few seconds before it is fully ready (the more rulesets enabled, the longer it takes). Safari needs to internally convert updated DNR rulesets into its native content blocking rules.

Best ad blocker

It blocks all of the YouTube ads. But not good for Spotify.

Ad Blocking after Safari update

Safari still does not block as many ads as uBlock. uBlock is still my choice

Ne fonctionne pas

Je l’ai installé pour bloquer les pubs sur twitch mais celui-ci ne fonctionne pas du tout; les pubs apparaissent toujours. De plus, à chaque fois que je sélectionne le mode complet, celui-ci ne reste jamais, il rebascule toujours sur basique.
