uBlock Lite is already in testing. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin-lite... EDIT: Discussion from 6 months ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32911640

I wished it had been named "uBlock Neutered" or something that more strongly highlighted the relationship to uBlock Origin.

"uBlock Crippled Edition" sounds good.

This isn't even remotely comparable to the uMatrix interface.

"Remotely" is a very strong word given that uBO has the vast majority of uMatrix functionality. Care to give some examples?

A browser also has all of the functionality of uBO and uMatrix ... if you just write the equivalent code yourself. After all, what is extension code if not a very complex configuration file. But I didn't talk about functionality - I specifically said the interface wasn't comparable. And it isn't.
