Why is uBlock Origin meant to be so much better than Adblock Plus? Is it a Jow Forums meme?

Install it and look in the options, note how there's a default-enabled option to whitelist """"acceptable ads"""".

here's an article about it: theguardian.com/technology/2016/feb/25/adblock-plus-opens-up-acceptable-ads-work
>Adblock Plus creator Eyeo has revealed crucial details behind the operation of the company’s controversial “acceptable ads” programme, which allows some advertisements through its adblocking software, often in exchange for a cut of the revenue received from the ads.

uBlock Origin doesn't sell you out to the adware shitstains that an ad blocker is supposed to protect you from.

i get what you're saying but what the fuck is up with your analogy lmao

Thats a bad analogy but your point is correct

find a real source, hun and get back to me

Well giving into tracking because everyone else is tracking you is pretty much the same as pouring a bucket of gas on your burning car because it's going to be totaled anyway. No one in his right mind would do that, right?

I use a wacky example like that because a lot of folks out there (not you) have this huge cognitively dissonant mindset that they should just not care about security/privacy because there "is none" in this day and age.

not them but its literally on their own website you fucking retard

Here's one FROM THE AD INDUSTRY ITSELF

>The ad-blocking software brand, owned by Eyeo GmbH, revealed in a blog post that it's created a service that lets brands buy the right to place "acceptable" ads that appear in front of consumers who actually want ads blocked.

But I suppose all of that's fake, huh?

replying to an old reply but what is the problem with non-malicious tracking versus actual malicious google-tier or other nigger tracking?

So?

no

Adblock's whitelist is pozzed.

He's not wrong tho. Many """journalist""" (especially in tech) confuse doing journalism with writing their own blog/diary page.

Adblock Plus actually blocks ads.
Uhide origin just hides the ads, it doesn't block them.

Wait what happened to AdNauseum?

Even if you don't care about the "ethics" of the adblocker, uBO is better simply for being faster, there's no reason not to use it.
