What's New in uBlock Origin Lite

- 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.

Great

I thought it wouldn’t work like the others if you don’t pay a fee, but it actually works better than I expected. Nice app.

Amazing content blocker!

I love this extension because it blocks ads and makes the internet actually usable! However, recently the extension has broken on the YouTube website and videos will keep flickering between 0:00 and their actual length & they’ll never load. Not sure what causes it because sometimes it loads perfectly and other times no amount of refreshing the tab or restarting safari fixes it. I’ve updated it multiple times now since this issue has been happening and it still does it. Anyways, I 10/10 recommend this extension because uBlock is the GOAT!!! 🔥
