I’ve been informed that adblock plus sort of sucks now. If you’re looking for one, go for UBlock Origin.
Imagine shilling a closed source, sold out alternative to UBlock Origin
I’m not an expert on these and didn’t realize there was a difference. Did this one sell out?
A tale of 3 adblockers
ABP allows “acceptable” ads that are acceptable insofar as they meet certain standards one of which is paying them money effectively renting your eyeballs to advertisers.
Ublock Origin: A powerful and performant ad blocker by its creator
Ublock. After the above dev tried to pass the torch to the loser who now controls this he instantly edited information removing all information about the person who actually created it and fund raise off it to the point where the original dev renamed his fork of his own work Ublock origin after it was taken down on behalf of the scumbag who now runs ublock.
In short there is no reason to use anything but Ublock origin
Adblock plus has sucked for at least half a decade at this point.
abp: ❌ ublock: ✅
Specifically, ublock origin. The “origin” part is important.
This reminds me to donate to uBlock Origin. The dev does not accept donations though. I can’t imagine a fay without uBlock Origin.
Yeah I wish the dev accepted donations. Ublock makes my life so much better and I have a hard time being online without it. That’s something I’d gladly donate to. You can donate to the maintainers of the block-lists though

The one creator from reddit I miss. Loved when they would respond to comments with more drawings.
