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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: uBlock Origin Lite at none against Atomic Sync's shown. uBlock Origin Lite also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Atomic Sync's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
