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.

> the ad blocking results are as good with better performance I invite you to go through all daily commits made in uBlock Origin's specific filter lists to solve reported real-world issues[1], and find out if every single one of these issues can also be solved in a typical Safari content blocker, just as they are immediately solved in uBlock Origin. For instance, it would be an interesting exercise to find out how many of the fixes committed between Sep. 21 and Sep. 27 inclusively can or cannot be also be fixed in a typical Safari content blocker. * * * [1] https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/commits/master

> only runs when a device is connected to Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Cellular bandwidth is never used. This cannot be guaranteed. They seem to use the NetworkInformation API, which as of now is declared as experimental and straight up does not work on Firefox or more importantly on Safari (and therefore the whole iOS browser ecosystem). Apart from that, they're using IP ranges of mobile carriers for detection. [1] So let's say you're using iOS and a VPN while on the go. This will use your mobile data unless you're using an adblocker (since their service is only opt-in if you're using an adblocker) [2] [1] https://github.com/easylist/easylist/issues/7872 [2] https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/pull/8874#issue-6142...

In particular, https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/blob/master/filters/... will translate requesting google-analytics.com/analytics.js into this stub: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/master/src/web_access... . Not sure if you can easily substitute arbitrary scripts (would probably be placing too much trust into filter lists) but the resource library seems to be quite extensive: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Resources-Library#url...
