    Nah, ublock origin is absolutely an ad blocker. It can and does do the basics of, “remove annoying DOM element”.

    Saying it’s not an ad blocker is like saying a truck isn’t a car (car as in vehicle) because it can tow things, too.

      First sentence in the description:

      uBlock Origin is not an “ad blocker”, it’s a wide-spectrum content blocker with CPU and memory efficiency as a primary feature.

      That like saying a road is for cars. When you can drive your truck and motorcycle on it. (to use your analogy) A road and uBlock can do other things than the one they do the most.
