Open Source BSD Ad Blockers

uBlock: a fast, lightweight, and lean blocker for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Available on the Chrome Web Store or for manual installation. Available to install from the homepage. Available for install from the homepage or from the App Store. Available on the Firefox Add-ons site, or for manual installation. Opera shares Chrome's underlying engine, so you can install uBlock simply by grabbing the latest release for Chrome.To benefit from uBlock's higher efficiency, it's advised that you don't use other blockers at the same time (such as AdBlock or Adblock Plus). uBlock will do as well or better than most popular ad blockers. It's important to note that blocking ads is not theft. Don't fall for this creepy idea. The ultimate logical consequence of blocking = theft is the criminalisation of the inalienable right to privacy.

uAssets is a companion repository for the uBlock Origin content blocker that contains filter lists, rules, and configuration data used to block advertisements, trackers, and unwanted web content across the internet. It acts as a continuously updated database of filtering rules that define how uBlock Origin interacts with web pages, enabling it to remove intrusive elements and improve user privacy. The repository includes domain-based filters, cosmetic rules, scriptlet injections, and exception handling to ensure both effectiveness and compatibility with websites. It is maintained by a team of contributors who regularly update filters to respond to changes in advertising techniques and tracking mechanisms. The project emphasizes efficiency and minimal performance overhead, ensuring that blocking rules do not negatively impact browsing speed. It also includes mechanisms for reporting issues and refining filters based on user feedback.

TwitchAdSolutions is an open-source repository that aggregates multiple techniques, scripts, and tools designed to block or bypass advertisements on the Twitch streaming platform. Rather than being a single application, it serves as a curated collection of methods that users can apply depending on their environment, including browser extensions, proxy-based approaches, and custom scripts. The project focuses on maintaining functional workarounds for Twitch’s evolving ad delivery system, which frequently changes to counter ad-blocking solutions. It includes experimental scripts that attempt to replace or skip ad segments by forcing the player to retrieve ad-free streams or suppress playback during ad breaks. The repository also provides configuration instructions for tools like uBlock Origin, allowing users to integrate custom filters and scripts into their browsing setup.
