The very minute Adblock plus is compromised I will switch adblockers. Thankfully everything is done client side and its relatively trivial to create blockers.

- labster 11y agoWell, if that minute ever comes, consider uBlock Origin. Easier to use, and without that whole speed penalty on the browser that ABP has. I heard that Firefox improved ABP performance in the meantime, but I've never had a reason to switch back to software that whitelists some ads. uBlock is also available for Chrome.
- martinko 11y agoJust switched to uBlock because of this article, thanks.
- libeclipse 11y agoAlso note that there's a difference between uBlock and uBlock Origins.
- oAlbe 11y agoMind elaborating on the differences please? They just look like two different addons from different developers to me.

- neerdowell 11y agouBlock Origin is a fork of uBlock by the original developer of uBlock. They are essentially the same addon except uBlock Origin has more features and is more actively maintained (development of uBlock pretty much stopped after the fork).
- kuschku 11y agoThen you should have switched long ago. The whole acceptable ads program, them blackmailing large ad networks into paying 30 million EUR, etc. It's been a very scummy business for a long time.
