  I can heartily recommend µBlock as well, it's low on resource usage (much lower than abp) and blocks nearly everything. I do tend to combine it with ghostery/disconnect to be extra sure (not that ghostery is developed by an ads firm, though they say their opt-out options is legit).

    Don't use abp. You should read this trough Google Translate maybe: http://www.mobilegeeks.de/adblock-plus-undercover-einblicke-in-ein-mafioeses-werbenetzwerk/ http://www.mobilegeeks.de/adblock-plus-undercover-einblicke-...

      Is there any evidence that they're doing anything sleazy? This seems like a crackpot conspiracy theory, not actual news.

        No it's really like that. Advertisers habe the possibility to get white listed. But they have to pay for it.

          And this feature can be disabled in the extension: Tools->AddOns->AdblocPlus Options->Filter Preferences->Allow some non-intrusive advertising You can untick it, and right next to it are two links. One is to a link describing the non-intrusive ads and the other is to the actual white-list: https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/exceptionrules.txt https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/exceptionrules.tx... I didn't realize this was on for me. But to tell you the truth, I have never seen any of these advertisements. So either they were so unnoticeable/rare or they really were completely non-intrusive. I personally have no problem with this. As long as they keep the ads non-intrusive as it appears they have up until now, I will continue to allow it as it has made my web browsing completely annoyance-free from ads.

    Check µMatrix, too. Same guy who made µBlock, I believe.
