And what does it do differently?

  Well, they have this list in their repo: https://github.com/0xCUB3/wBlock/blob/main/Adblock_Comparison.md#feature-comparison https://github.com/0xCUB3/wBlock/blob/main/Adblock_Compariso... Only one I can see is (slightly) less RAM use.

  They do have a compare page here: https://github.com/0xCUB3/wBlock/blob/main/Adblock_Comparison.md https://github.com/0xCUB3/wBlock/blob/main/Adblock_Compariso...

    I wonder why would they include GitHub stars as comparison point. Not only it is useless, it will mostly be wrong unless dynamically generated and updated.

      It does indicate interest in the product from developers, which is helpful to know for smaller OSS projects because it means that people might be able to assist with development and it reduces the likelihood of the project being abandoned when the OG dev moves on.

  Supports iOS 17.

    Ad blocking on Safari is partially broken before iOS 18.6, hence the requirement of iOS version on uBlock Origin Lite. https://matisyahu.blog/2025/07/31/and-it-is-raining-again/ https://matisyahu.blog/2025/07/31/and-it-is-raining-again/
