“The uBlock Origin Lite add-on was also accused of collecting user data and running afoul of privacy concerns, which is one of the big reasons why people switch over to the Firefox browser in the first place. Hill [the developer] responded: “It takes only a few seconds for anyone who has even basic understanding of JavaScript to see the raised issues make no sense.””
The Fuck? Might as well use Chromium but am sticking to Safari + AdGuard combo then.

Why would anyone even want to use uBlock Origin Lite on Firefox? It’s a stripped down version designed to work with the limitations of manifest V3 in chrome.

iirc the dev claims its more useful for firefox mobile.

Any details on that? The full uBlock Origin works well on mobile and I don’t see how a lite version with reduced blocking effectiveness could be more useful.

Apparently some users preffered it for Android.

My guess is that it’s used predominantly by people who own budget smart phones. Having lit versions of apps be available to people who don’t use thousand dollar flagships I think is kind of important. However, I intended the post to be informational.

Is the lite version more performant?
