<strong>uBlock Origin</strong> is a popular content blocker that could help you block ads, trackers, and fingerprinting scripts.
|
|
|
|
We suggest enabling all of the <a href="https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dashboard:-Filter-lists">filters lists</a> under the "Ads", "Privacy" and "Malware domains". The "Annoyances" and "Multipurpose" lists can also be enabled, but they may break some social media functions. The <em>AdGuard URL Tracking Protection</em> filter list makes extensions like CleanURLs and NeatURLs redundant.
|
|
|
|
We also suggest adding the <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt">Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool</a> list and any of the regional lists that might apply to your browsing habits. Additional filter lists do slow things down, so only apply the languages that you use.
|
|
|
|
uBlock Origin also has different <a href="https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode">blocking modes</a>. The easy mode <a href="https://www.ranum.com/security/computer_security/editorials/dumb/">might not</a> necessarily keep you safe from every tracker out there, whereas the more advanced modes let you control exactly what needs to run.
