Lite version works for me the same as the original. Blocks majority of ads.

Slippery slope corporate apologism.

It's like a corporation shrinking the package size of your food by 10%, keeping the price the same and then claiming you still get the "majority" of the food.

Antisthenes I appreciate your "cynical" response but what I meant is I didn't yet notice any degradation of service compared to the original uBlock Origin.

Or just accurately describing reality?

UBOL is still blocking all the ads for me. It hasn't gone from 100% to 90%. It's still at 100%.

You have no idea if it is blocking the trackers or not.

You didn't have any idea with uBlock Origin either.

But since the very first blocklist UBOL uses is decribed as "Ads, trackers, miners, and more" I assume it's also blocking them just fine. The same way I assumed with UBO.
