I was wondering if uBlock origin plugin has some limitations on chromium based browser compared to Firefox for example.
The primary limitation is that µBO for Chromium does not allow uncloaking of first-party CNAME trackers (which are actually 3rd party trackers) like the FF version. This is the newest form of tracking and is hard to detect because CNAMEs are also used for otherwise legitimate purposes.
CNAME Cloaking, the dangerous disguise of third-party trackers

You may add this filter to µBO for Chromium for list-based filtering of cloaked trackers, but you will be unable to uncloak CNAMEs in medium mode in the Chromium version.
