  Thanks for the update, long time fan of uBlock Origin! Good to know it's still the fastest!

  Any info on Adblock Fast[1] ? They advertise as being lightweight with only 7 rules and I wonder how they compare to uBlock Origin (I'd still choose Origin because of the customization options). [1] http://adblockfast.com/ http://adblockfast.com/ And thank you for making browsing the Internet awesome.

    It's snake oil. The 7 rules are 7 lines of many many rules. Stay clear of anyone making such misleading marketing claims!

      Well yes, I'm aware it's highly suspicious, just didn't want any name calling. Just wanted to see the authors opinion about it and if he ever tested it out, or will in the future, specially if they claim such bold enhancements regarding ABP. If anyone can comment on this topic, it's gorhill.

        Adblock Fast is like BluHell -- last time I looked into it, the seven huge regexes were a direct import from BluHell. I ran a mini-benchmark for which I reported the results here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10198994 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10198994 uBlock Origin itself has higher memory footprint, but given that it blocks more (using default settings), on average it will cause web pages to consume less memory, so eventually with many tab opened, uBlock Origin may end up being more efficient than Adblock Fast memory-wise.
