It's actually a substantive money saver in a shared compute environment. Running Windows RDS or VDA solutions, you can actually watch CPU and RAM reductions across the board by deploying uBlock Origin.
- adrianN 5y agoI wonder how much CO2 uBlock origin saved so far.
- pjc50 5y agoThe "this is a huge waste of energy in scamming people" argument deployed against cryptocurrency is also valid for traditional spam, and most web advertising, it's just that it's not so visible any more. Google must have a datacenter worth of computers doing classification on email.
- alcover 5y agoMe too. More broadly, I'd very much like an energy meter for web pages.
