uBlock Origin

This extension is a free and open-source browser extension designed for blocking ads. Therefore It effectively blocks various types of ads, such as banners, video ads, and pop-ups, using multiple filter lists. Additionally, it allows users to block specific elements by right-clicking and selecting ‘Block element…’. This functionality can be particularly useful, for instance, if you want to read an article about death but encounter a morbid photo, blocking that element can make the reading experience more comfortable.

The Lite version differs from the standard version mostly in the way that it doesn’t use the ‘advanced user’ features found in the full version. Instead it uses a slider to decide what to block. offering essential ad-blocking functionality without unnecessary fluff.

Now, if you go to duckduckgo.com or bravesearch.com and left-click the uBlock Origin icon, you will see several fields. The rule is: if it’s red, it blocks.

  • The right side is for local blocking, so if you want to unblock things locally, that’s how to do it.
  • If you block on the left, then it applies global blocking.
