What does uBlock Origin block in your browser?

uBlock Origin (from ublock[dot]org) is known for blocking banners and pop-ups, but users are often unaware of the additional invisible tracking and telemetry elements it filters to protect privacy in the background.

AdBlock Network perimeter filtering vs. uBlock

Like uBlock, AdBlock Network goes beyond the visible banner. The local firewall is updated via asynchronous read-only requests to multiple independent endpoints. Its Address layer stops requests from ad servers, web trackers, analytics cookies, and cryptocurrency miners directly at the network level.
