Blocking mode: easy mode

This is uBlock Origin's default mode.

Ads are blocked through EasyList and _ Peter Lowe’s Ad server list_, and privacy exposure is reduced through the use of EasyPrivacy. Some malware filter lists are selected by default. Also, uBlock Origin's own filter lists are selected as complement to the selected 3rd-party filter lists.

This mode is suitable for those who are concerned about reducing their privacy exposure.

Characteristics

• Low likelihood of web pages being broken.
• Web pages will typically load faster compared to the very easy mode.
