IMPORT AND EXPORT You can add tokens to ente by one of the following methods: - Scanning a QR code - Manually entering (copy-pasting) a 2FA secret - Bulk importing from a file that contains a list of codes in the following format: otpauth://totp/provider.com:you@email.com?secret=YOUR_SECRET The codes maybe separated by new lines or commas. You can also export the codes you have added to ente, to an unencrypted text file, that adheres to the above format. TERMS https://ente.io/terms

uBO Lite (uBOL) is a reliable and efficient content blocker. The default ruleset corresponds to uBlock Origin's default filterset: - uBlock Origin's built-in filter lists - EasyList - EasyPrivacy - Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list You can enable more rulesets by visiting the options page -- click the _Cogs_ icon in the popup panel. uBOL is entirely declarative, meaning there is no need for a permanent uBOL process for the filtering to occur, and CSS/JS injection-based content filtering is performed reliably by the browser itself rather than by the extension. This means that uBOL itself does not consume CPU/memory resources while content blocking is ongoing -- uBOL's service worker process is required _only_ when you interact with the popup panel or the option pages.
