[QUOTE="Protomartyr, post: 853239, member: 82599"] uBlock Origin is commonly recommended and is definitely worth it. How light it is depends on how you configure it and how many filter lists you have. An alternative to uBlock Origin that I've found to be super light is using uMatrix and configuring it similarly to how [USER=82776]@Lenny_Linux[/USER] runs it according to [url=https://malwaretips.com/threads/umatrix-soft-third-party-blockmode-with-whitelist-to-allow-some-tlds.93519/#post-851468]this post in this thread[/url]. The only modifications I've made to Lenny's uMatrix setup are: [LIST] [*]Adding Steven Black's hosts file: [URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts[/URL] [*]Adding 'I don't care about cookies' filter list: [URL]https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/abp/[/URL] [*]Adding the US country domain (since I'm in the US): [ICODE]* us * allow[/ICODE] [/LIST] Currently deciding which setup I'd prefer as both uBlock Origin and uMatrix are versatile and allow for lots of customization.
