Is Ublock safe
uBlock is currently the standard for a secure and adless web browsing experience.
Does uBlock Origin block trackers
The default behavior of uBlock Origin when newly installed is to block ads, trackers and malware sites — through EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Peter lowe‘s ad/tracking/malware servers, Online Malicious URL Blocklist, and uBlock Origin’s own filter lists.
Why do I still get pop-ups when I have them blocked
If you still get pop-ups after disabling them: You may have previously subscribed to receive notifications from a site.
You can block notifications if you don’t want any communications from a site to show up on your screen.
Your computer or phone may be infected by malware.
Why is uBlock Origin so popular
Many users hold uBlock Origin in high regard because of its memory and CPU effectiveness.
Hill, who never accepted donations or compensation for his development work, is another core reason why the extension is as popular as it is right now.
Is uBlock the same as uBlock Origin
uBlock Origin (not to be confused with uBlock which is a different project) is an independent and open-source ad blocker relying on a curated list of servers.
It prevents your browser from connecting to these servers to serve you ads.
Is AdGuard based in Russia
AdGuard servers are located in Frankfurt, Germany, and the apps do not communicate to any servers in Russia.
This was a deliberate decision to keep our servers (as well as the company itself) in a different jurisdiction.
Which is the real uBlock Origin
Raymond Hill, the founder and original author of uBlock, as of 2015, continued to work on the extension under the name uBlock Origin, sometimes stylized as uBlock0, and abbreviated as uBO.
Does uBlock Origin sell data
uBlock never has and never will sell your personal information to any third party without your consent.
We sometimes share anonymized and aggregated information that cannot be associated with an individual with third parties or the public.
What happened uBlock Origin
As of 2022, uBlock Origin continues to be maintained and actively developed by founder and lead developer Raymond Hill.
