Testing the uBlock Origin Ad Blocker
|
Conclusion
Securing your web browser against attacks by intrusive advertising and unwanted bugging mechanisms remains inconvenient and time consuming. That said, uBlock Origin reduces configuration efforts by virtue of the fact that it includes a large collection of add-ons, making the browser itself lean and speedy. In order to also get rid of trackers, you will still need to use Ghostery or TrackerBlock. When using Ghostery, you should switch off the Ghostrank function since the extension will otherwise transfer data on your search behavior to the project.
