uBlock Origin Lite is Raymond Hill's Manifest V3 answer for Chromium browsers, where the classic uBlock Origin no longer runs. It hands filter lists to the browser's built-in declarativeNetRequest engine so it blocks with no background process and asks for far fewer permissions. The trade-off is less power: it cannot run custom scriptlets or apply dynamic per-site rules in real time so it is weaker against sites that actively fight blockers. If you must use Chrome or Edge this is the closest thing to uBlock Origin; on Firefox, stick with the full version.

Strengths

  • Runs on Manifest V3 Chrome and Edge
  • Minimal permissions, no background process
  • Open-source (GPL-3.0), by uBO's own developer

Considerations

  • Weaker than full uBO; no real-time dynamic filtering
  • Struggles against aggressive anti-adblock sites
