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. ...

...The default behavior of uBlock Origin, when newly installed, is to block ads, trackers and malware sites through EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Peter Lowe’s ad/tracking/malware servers, Online Malicious URL Blocklist, and uBlock Origin's own filter lists. uBlock Origin (or uBlock₀) is not an ad blocker; it's a general-purpose blocker. uBlock Origin blocks ads through its support of the Adblock Plus filter syntax. uBlock Origin extends the syntax and is designed to work with custom rules and filters. Furthermore, the advanced mode allows uBlock Origin to work in default-deny mode, which mode will cause all 3rd-party network requests to be blocked by default unless allowed by the user.
