Starting with Nitrokey 3, HOTP and TOTP secrets are additionally encrypted at rest. Older Nitrokey devices like Nitrokey Pro 2 and Nitrokey Storage 2 did not encrypt OTP secrets at rest, which makes the OTP secrets on these devices potentially vulnerable to physical attacks.

[^1]: uBlock Origin Lite *itself* will consume no resources, because it uses newer APIs which make the browser process the filter lists natively, instead of running JavaScript code within the extension to handle the filtering. However, this resource advantage is only [theoretical](https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions-(FAQ)#is-ubol-more-efficient-cpu--and-memory-wise-than-ubo), because it's possible that standard uBlock Origin's filtering code is more efficient than your browser's native filtering code. This has not yet been benchmarked.
