• Blocks ads.
• Blocks tracking.
• Blocks annoyances.
• Very small memory and CPU footprint(*).
• Fast loading time(**).

This extension is a under the tiny project which aims to be the only modular adblocker in the world.This extension aims to work with the tiny blocker to block ads and trackers with crazy speed but still you can use it individually.

Following Blocklists were used:

• EasyList (ads)
• EasyList Cookies (annoyances)
• Peter Lowe’s Ad server list (ads and tracking)
• EasyPrivacy (tracking)
• uBlock filters (ads + tracking + annoyances)
• Adgaurd Base filters(ads + tracking + spyware + dns + mobileads)
• nocoin minerblocking filter
• malware lists
• Anti-adblock filters

The Defender is initialized in less than 200ms, even on cold start, which means that ads and trackers are blocked as soon as your browser starts.

Building code from https://github.com/sanatg/TinyDefender can be done with:

1. Installing dependencies: yarn install --frozen-lock
2. Run the Shell Script:chmod +x ./build.sh && ./build.sh
3. Load the build folder in Firefox or Chromium by using the "Load unpacked extension" feature.

If you don't want to compile from source i have pre included the build folder to load it in Firefox or Chromium.

You can also find a crx file from the release page.

It's tiny, does it actually perform like other blocker extensions?

Yes it is small, but it leverages @cliqz/adblocker to do the heavy-lifting. This means that the extension is doing as much as any other content-blocker (if you make abstraction of the UI, of course, which only consists in a counter of blocked requests). At the time of this writing, this is still the fastest and most memory efficient adblocker around.

Which filters lists is it using?

Currently, it is using a pre-built engine distributed on Cliqz' CDN. This means that no parsing is required client-side to load the engine (super-fast loading cached between sessions!). The default lists at the time of this writing are:

• EasyList
• EasyPrivacy
• Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list
• uBlock filters
• uBlock filters - Privacy
• uBlock filters - Resource abuse
• uBlock filters - Badware risks
• uBlock filters - Unbreak

Separately loaded

• Adgaurd base filters
• nocoin minerblocking filter
• malware lists
• Anti-adblock filters

Date 26/7/2021

introducing cross browser support for the extension and adding more blocklists for better cosmetic filtering.

this project would never have existed without cliqz adblocking library
