Privacy Badger most likely has the same issue that this article is talking about.
- atoponce 12y agoCurious, I checked out the Task Manager for my Chromium install. Privacy Badger, although based on ABP code, is using substantially less memory than uBlock. Less than 1/2, actually. https://imgur.com/ScBfmjS https://imgur.com/ScBfmjS
- atoponce 12y agoPrivacy Badger isn't a recommendation to reduce CPU and memory usage. It's a recommendation to use in place of Ghostery. Because it is based on ABP, it may certainly have some of the bloat issues uBlock is trying to address.
- kasabali 12y agoThe problem is not Adblock Plus engine, it's ABP injecting 4 MB CSS to every single page, while Privacy Badger doesn't, so it is not a problem.
- atoponce 12y agoIndeed. After tracking my tasks in Chromium, I have found that Privacy Badger regularly and consistently sits at about 1/2 the RAM usage of uBlock.
