An efficient, embeddable JavaScript/TypeScript adblocker library that blocks ads, trackers, and annoyances. It is uBlock Origin- and Easylist-compatible and integrates with Puppeteer, Electron, and WebExtension environments.
Use cases
- block ads in a puppeteer scraper
- add ad and tracker blocking to an electron app
- build a browser extension with content blocking
- parse easylist filter lists in javascript
- embed an adblocker engine in a nodejs proxy
When to choose
- you need an embeddable adblocker engine inside your own app, extension, or automation tool
- you want uBlock Origin/Easylist filter compatibility in JavaScript
- performance and memory efficiency of filter matching matters
When to avoid
- you just want to install an ad blocker in your browser as an end user
- you need a native or system-level content blocker
- your project is not JavaScript/TypeScript based
