How conveniently the author had failed to mention all the downsides of uBlock Origin Lite. At least they have given a link to the page that explains the differences, but they still write like “it’s nothing major” because “I haven’t seen any difference”. Yes, because 1. you’re blind! 2. you care only about blocking ads, not trackers and data mining, which activities are not visible on the website itself!
I did say the element zapper was missing. uBO Lite is using the same default filterlists as uBO, which includes some trackers: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets
I didn’t mention the zapper. Though I agree that is a great tool, along with the picker which is then probably also gone.
uBO Lite is using the same default filterlists as uBO
Uses the same defaults, which are only updated after a new release gets through google’s addon review process, in an environment where often quick changes are needed for the addon to work effectively. Its much easier to get thorugh a firewall that is only updated once every few or even more days, than one that automatically obtains the updates every half a day.
What about the lists that are not enabled by default, and custom lists added by the user? As I understand, they are not a thing anymore.
Did I understand it right that that according to this and this FAQ entry, neither of the lists have include site specific rules, as it is not possible to have them anymore?
