uBlock Origin - Open Source Ad Blocker

In the digital age, online advertising has become a ubiquitous part of our internet experience. However, not all ads are created equal, and some can be intrusive, disruptive, or even malicious. This is where ad blockers come into play, and among them, open-source ad blockers have gained significant popularity for their transparency and community-driven development.

One of the most well-known open-source ad blockers is uBlock Origin, praised for its efficiency in CPU and memory usage. It's not just an ad blocker; it's a wide-spectrum content blocker that neutralizes privacy invasions in a user-friendly method. uBlock Origin is available for several widely used browsers, including Chrome, Chromium, MS Edge, Opera, Firefox, and Safari releases prior to 13.

Another notable project is Zen, a comprehensive ad-blocker and privacy guard for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It operates at the system level, intercepting HTTP requests from all applications, and blocks ads, trackers, malware, and other unwanted content.
