Related issue: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/issues/326 uBOL now asks broad host permissions by default. Users can still choose narrow host permissions by using their browser's controls for this. For instance in Chromium, those host permissions controls are found in the "Site access" section in the detailed view of an extension. One can set "Site access" to "On click" to revoke broad host permissions, and grant host permissions to only specific site. In such mode, uBOL will still block through the DNR API, but no cosmetic or scriptlet filtering will occurs, as these requires permission to "read and change data" on websites for which higher filtering mode is desired. Some browsers do not automatically grant broad host permissions even when an extension asks for broad permissions at install time, and going forward all browsers will likely adopt this approach, and thus it no longer made sense for uBOL to default to no broad hosts permissions at install time, especially given this leads to issues with no solution -- issues solved with the new approach (e.g. like the ability to deploy uBOL in Optimal mode by default).

uBO Lite (uBOL) is an MV3-based 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.
