## Selectively Disable Cosmetic Filters
One way to improve performance without compromising security or privacy is to [disable cosmetic filters on specific sites](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Per-site-switches#no-cosmetic-filtering). Cosmetic filtering (aka element hiding) stops ads and other nuisances and removes unnecessary elements from the page. Turning off cosmetic filtering when you don't need it reduces your device's [workload](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Doesn't-uBlock-Origin-add-overhead-to-page-load%3F) while still blocking unwanted network requests.
One way to improve performance without compromising security or privacy is to disable [cosmetic filters](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Does-uBlock-Origin-block-ads-or-just-hide-them%3F#cosmetic-filters) on specific sites. Cosmetic filtering (aka element hiding) hides visual nuisances from the page that can't be blocked with [network filters](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Does-uBlock-Origin-block-ads-or-just-hide-them%3F#network-filters). Turning off cosmetic filtering when the webpage doesn't need it reduces your device's [workload](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Doesn't-uBlock-Origin-add-overhead-to-page-load%3F) while still blocking unwanted network requests.
So for sites where uBO seems unnecessary, [turn off](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Per-site-switches#no-cosmetic-filtering) cosmetic filtering for that site. This action still protects you from security and privacy risks by blocking unwanted network requests but reduces the overhead during page load.
What's more, disabling the filters on specific sites provides more flexibility than [disabling cosmetic filters everywhere by default](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Per-site-switches#no-cosmetic-filtering:~:text=To-,disable%20cosmetic%20filtering%20everywhere%20by%20default,-%2C%20go%20to%20the) and then re-enabling them for most sites. It made sense 10+ years ago to disable cosmetic filtering by default and only enable it for sites that needed extra coverage. Not so much now.

Modern websites often have ads, cookie banners, newsletter pop-ups, or a combination of these annoyances. Effective ad blocking now requires the cosmetic filters in **Ads** and **Annoyances** lists to remove these elements. Most devices, including [mobile devices](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/7a768e7b1a), can handle cosmetic filtering without significant performance issues.
