The original version of AdBlock came about in 2002. There’s a tug-of-war between ad blocking software and major sites. This is pretty common and a problem with almost any ad blocker. For example, Forbes doesn’t allow ad blockers as shown below. Keep in mind that some sites automatically detect ad blockers and prevent access if one is currently enabled. Enabling ad blockers is always recommended when visiting sites you don’t completely trust. For example, they may invite you to download software that is, in fact, a virus. Some ads are forms of malware in disguise. You can also create a blacklist of handpicked sites to block ads on, instead of blocking it everywhere by default. If you visit blogs with small readerships, then you may want to support the owner by switching off your blocking software. Should You be Using Ad Blockers in the First Place? A final score will be tallied up at the end, and we will let you know which program is recommended. If there is a clear overall winner, then we will award a point.
Both programs will be assessed across a range of categories. To help you choose which ad blocker to install, we have compared two of the most popular options: AdBlock Plus and uBlock Origin. The problem is that some ad-blocking software simply does a poor job and can be heavy on your system’s resources. Here is the same page using ad-blocking software. You will notice an annoying PayPal ad at the top and a Lexus ad to the right. If you look below, you will see a HuffPost page without ad blockers. By installing the right program, you can easily prevent these annoyances. However, some sites are simply stuffed with ads, which creates a poor user experience. That’s fair enough as good sites take a lot of time and energy to develop.
Many sites contain ads in an attempt to make their owners money. Yet, even after adding Fanboy's two extra lists, hpHosts's Ad and tracking servers, uBlock Origin still has a lower memory footprint than other very popular blockers out there.Īlso, be aware that selecting some of these extra lists may lead to higher likelihood of web site breakage - especially those lists which are normally used as hosts file.3D Insider is ad supported and earns money from clicks, commissions from sales, and other ways. Of course, the more filters enabled, the higher the memory footprint. More lists are available for you to select if you wish: Out of the box, these lists of filters are loaded and enforced: Lexible, it's more than an "ad blocker": it can also read and create filters from hosts files.
It applies to the current web site only, it is not a global power button. Usage: The big power button in the popup is to permanently disable/enable uBlock Origin for the current web site. An efficient blocker: easy on memory and CPU footprint, and yet can load and enforce thousands more filters than other popular blockers out there.
