-**Important note:** This is a fork of the [new official repo](https://github.com/chrisaljoudi/uBlock). Although both projects are essentially the same as of 0.9.3.0, they will probably start to diverge as time goes. I consider uBlock here to be feature-complete. I will keep maintaining the project here though so as to ensure it works just fine. If I add anything new, it will be because I decide to do so, for my own coding pleasure, as I do not accept any feature requests.

## Philosophy
-uBlock is not an *ad blocker*; it's a general-purpose blocker. uBlock blocks ads through its support of the [Adblock Plus filter syntax](https://adblockplus.org/en/filters). uBlock [extends](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Filter-syntax-extensions) the syntax and is designed to work with custom rules and filters.

That said, it's important to note that using a blocker is **NOT** [theft](https://twitter.com/LeaVerou/status/518154828166725632). Don't fall for this creepy idea. The _ultimate_ logical consequence of `blocking = theft` is the criminalisation of the inalienable right to privacy.
-Ads, "unintrusive" or not, are just the visible portions of privacy-invading apparatus entering your browser when you visit most sites nowadays. **uBlock's main goal is to help users neutralize such privacy-invading apparatus** — in a way that welcomes those users who don't wish to use more technical, involved means (such as [µMatrix](https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix)).
