From the project README

An excerpt from the repository, fetched Nov 12, 2026.

Read the project’s introduction
uAssets This repository is for the resources of uBlock Origin (uBO). It receives all reports for new filters or existing filters that cause web page breakage. Any contributors are welcome. Contributors who are proven valuable will get write permissions to the repository. The rationale for including a specific filter in uBO's filter lists is the same as the EasyList/EasyPrivacy policies and also takes into account whether a filter requires uBO's extended filter syntax. It is preferred to fix filter issues in EasyList. Any filters included in uBO's filter lists must use the extended syntax. The EasyList-compatible fixes for high-traffic websites are added to uBO filters until they become added to EasyList. uAssets will fix the following exceptions even if they do not require using the extended syntax: Ad-Reinsertion Anti-Blocker Context Menu Blockage Cut/Copy/Paste Blockage Popups/Popunders Website Breakage Video Ads uAssets will not address the following: Paywalls Porn Farms Annoyances (widgets, social media buttons, newsletter subscriptions, donation requests, etc) Self-promotion elements Requests for custom filters to modify or restyle site content (for help with these, visit /r/uBlockOrigin). How to correctly report an issue: Disable all other browser extensions and see if the issue still occurs If the issue still occurs when all other browser extensions are disabled, then provide the troubleshooting information: Steps for uBO: Open a new browser tab Go to the specific page where the issue occurs Click the 🛡️ uBO icon Click the 💬 chat icon Click Troubleshooting Information Click Select all and copy the contents Paste the contents into the appropriate GitHub thread Steps for uBO Lite: Open a new browser tab Go to the specific page where the issue occurs Click the 🛡️ uBO Lite icon Click the menu item for 💬 Report an issue Click Troubleshooting Information Copy the contents Paste the contents into the appropriate GitHub thread Always provide a clear description of the issue and the steps necessary to reproduce it (including if an account/login is required) Filter List Requests New filter list requests in the issue tracker are not permitted and will be declined and closed. Support Forum For support, questions, or help, visit /r/uBlockOrigin. uBO Issues Report issues with uBO in the uBO issue tracker. uBO Lite (uBOL) Issues Report issues specific to the Manifest Version 3 (MV3) variant in the uBOL issue tracker. Similarly-Purposed Blockers Do NOT use any other similarly-purposed blockers concurrently with uBO. It can result in website breakage or undefined results.

What Hacker News says

11 sources
I don't think uBlock can or does block it, here's the issue that tracks the research into it: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/5184 as well as an attempt to block them here: https://github.com/instance01/Twitch-HLS-AdBlock You may be ad-free for another reason such as a grandfathered twitch prime that will expire when it next renews, twitch turbo, or a subscription to a channel that opts-in to the ad-free sub benefit. You might also just be in a region or demographic where ads aren't being bought, so you wouldn't get any then.
In uBlock Origin: Address first-party tracker blocking
> What is the trade-off for not being included by default in the main extension, CPU? gorhill's (developer of uBO) explanation from[1] below: > uBO-Extra is needed to deal with IL stuff because the IL inline script appears at the top of the served HTML page -- before any other secondary resource-pulling tag. uBO-Extra injects its content script declaratively, i.e. on every page, hence it will always run before IL stuff. The root cause of why it is needed is because of a bug with web socket implementation in chrome.[2] Additional info on why both are needed (& why for chrome but not firefox) in some reddit threads.[3][4][5] [1] https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/227#issuecomm...
