- µBlock has [local mirroring](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Experimental-features#privacy-exposure-reduction-local-mirroring), a currently experimental but promising feature.
- µBlock has [dynamic filtering](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering), the ability to point-and-click to filter on/off `script` and `iframe` tags, on a 1st- or 3rd-party basis.
