A super minimal blocker of ads, trackers and annoyances which works out of the box. Compared to most other extensions, it does not require (or offer) any configuration options and "just works".

A super minimal blocker of ads, trackers and annoyances which works out of the box:

• Blocks ads.
• Blocks tracking.
• Blocks annoyances.
• Very small memory and CPU footprint(*).
• Fast loading time(**).

This extension does not offer options to configure the behavior of the extension and is aimed at people who want a content blocker which just works out of the box. To this effect, the developer of this addon has carefully selected a set of stable and widely used filters lists, updated daily. The following lists are used by default:

• EasyList (ads)
• EasyList Cookies (annoyances)
• Peter Lowe’s Ad server list (ads and tracking)
• EasyPrivacy (tracking)
• uBlock filters (ads + tracking + annoyances)
• Fanboy annoyances

(*) The source code weighs ~70KB gzipped and ~190KB uncompressed. The raw memory usage is less than 5MB (1.7MB reported in about:performance), which is smaller than any other adblocker extension.

(**) The blocker is initialized in less than 200ms, even on cold start, which means that ads and trackers are blocked as soon as your browser starts.
