Some text from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock


uBlock's stated purpose is to give users the means to enforce their own (content-filtering) choices. The extension has no monetization strategy and development is volunteered. uBlock's main developer, Raymond Hill, does not solicit donations.

uBlock almost fully supports Adblock Plus's filter syntax <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adblock_Plus#Filters>, is capable of importing hosts files <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29>, provides dynamic filtering of scripts and iframes <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iframes>, and includes a tool for webpage element <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_element> hiding.^[16] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock#cite_note-17>

Technology websites and user reviews for uBlock have regarded the extension as less resource intensive in comparison with extensions that provide similar feature sets such as Adblock Plus.^[13] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock#cite_note-:4-13> Fabian Wosar, developer for Emsisoft GmbH, has explained that uBlock surveys what style resources are required for an individual web page <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_page> rather than reliance on a universal style sheet <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Style_sheet_%28web_development%29>.^[17] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock#cite_note-18>


I suggest that SpyBlock fork its code from this project rather than Adblock Plus or even Adblock Edge.
