uBlock Origin for Chrome: A great ad blocker for Chrome with a multitude of filters

There are different types of software that can block popups and any other instances of advertisement and unwanted content, which can make your browsing speeds even slower because of them, but fortunately enough, uBlock Origin for Chrome is one of them. (it's also available for Firefox and Opera)

As stated above, this is a Chrome addon that can eliminate ads, trackers, and malware websites from your browsing experience, and it comes with a few predefined and powerful filters, like EasyList, Peter Lowe's ad server list, EasyPrivacy, and some malware domains in order to ensure the behavior of the website you're visiting will not be intrusive.

uBlock Origin, while being a wide-spectrum blocker, it also lets you use third-party filters, with a variety of alternatives at your disposal, while it's even capable of running right out-of-the-box without the need to restart Chrome after the installation is done.

You can even turn off the filtering capabilities for a specific website and it's as easy as just clicking the blue button from the drop-down UI, while also sporting a very handy "Element Picker" that enables you to create custom filters with the help of the mouse.

Performance-wise, uBlock Origin will help your browser load pages faster, since there are no more ads and other intrusive stuff to load, and by not taking a lot of system resources.

Overall, uBlock Origin for Chrome is a very handy blocker that is able to protect you from anything, be it ads, trackers, and even malicious websites by using a multitude of powerful third-party filters and also custom ones created with the help of the mouse.
