You are calling HTTPSB an alternative for Adblock Plus.
One of the major use cases of Adblock Plus is effectively "Fire and Forget" mode - enable it and then don't worry about it.
You are saying HTTPSB does not support this use case.
As such, I don't see why you can call it an alternative to Adblock Plus.

- Justsignedup 12y agoIt is an alternative. to all of like 1000 people worldwide who are willing to figure it out. So basically fire-and-forget mode, or broke.
- pessimizer 12y agoThat's like saying that walking isn't an alternative to driving because there's no wheels. It's different, has a superset of functionality, and a different interface. It isn't a fork of ABP.

- Executor 12y agoYour analogy fails too. I use a manual javascript blocking add-on (noscript) instead of an automatic blacklisting one and its not a deal-breaker. Minor effort required.
- TheLoneWolfling 12y agoIt does not have a superset of functionality. Adblock Plus / Edge has a "Fire and Forget" mode, as I described in my grandparent comment. HTTPSB does not. Hence, HTTPSB's functionality is not a superset of Adblock Plus/Edge's functionality.
