It's complicated? They have advantages and disadvantages over extensions. For most people who just installed an adblocker and never touched its settings, I bet they're practically equivalent.
Advantages: privacy, efficiency
Disadvantages: lack of flexibility, some things they just can't do
- pythux 7y agoIf you have some source about the efficiency advantage, could you please share? I only ever read that hypothetically it could be more efficient but never stumbled upon actual measurements/benchmarks. Also, extension adblockers are already so efficient that I would doubt there is a perceptible difference.
