I really prefer Ghostery. Gives a much better analysis of what's being blocked, with fine grain controls, and much nicer UI.
I haven't measured the memory consumption, but I havent had any noticeable issues so far.
- dexterdog 11y agoI moved to Ghostery a few years ago and all I notice is that whenever I disable it most sites are far slower.
- PhasmaFelis 11y agoMy one huge problem with Ghostery is that it doesn't appear to provide any way to pinpoint the source of an ad. I only want to block intrusive ad providers, but the only way to go from "see an annoying ad" to "block its provider" in Ghostery is to play trial-and-error with potentially dozens of different trackers, blocking and reloading one at a time until the offending ad goes away. In ABP, you could do this with a couple of clicks. Am I missing something?
- zobzu 11y agopersonally i dont wanna keep "acceptable ads" because I believe there is no such thing. its unsollicited and always in my face => its an ads, and it annoys me - and im not even going to buy the product behind it. thus, i find ublock (for ex) much simpler to deal with than ghostery.
