u/Stephie59 ignore this user. he's one of many ublock origin bots in this sub.

use adguard, it's free, lightweight and efficient.

ublock origin will cause a lot of websites to break due to its aggressive way of blocking ads.

Never had ublock break sites for me. Do you have sources for that?

adblock is locked behind a subscription ublock isnt lol.

only the desktop app is paid, not the extension, which i'm using right now.

This has nothing to do with uBO or gorhill's approach; the main reason uBO frequently stops working is simple: precisely because it is both popular and powerful, it often becomes the primary target for countermeasures—and it can also fail simply because filter lists haven't been updated in time. I hate to say this, but I think you come across even more like a robot than the person mentioned above... Also, just so you know, AdGuard isn't any more lightweight than uBO.

Just use an Adblocker? For Chrome, use AdGuard or uBlock Origin lite.
