This is technical and interesting, but can anyone tell the difference between web browsing with FF/uBo and Chrome/uBo? I personally cannot, other than that the fonts render a bit differently. Webpages load fast and no ads get through in both cases.
- timbit42 6y agoThe first chart in the article explains the difference. It's not so much about being able to tell the difference, but how much it is protecting you in the background.
- ehsankia 6y agoTo be fair the only difference there seems to be from a future RC release of uBO that isn't even out yet, and also that has to do more with third-party tracking cookies more so than ad-blocking, so most users probably wouldn't notice it. It's not about speed, it's about the probability of detecting these CNAME cloaked tracking.
