Because it works?

Because its called "adblock", normalfags hear "you can block ads", enter "ad block" in the addon search and get abp.

am i supposed to be using something else? it there a more complicated, less effective add on that is popular on Jow Forums?

I use it because I found no discernible difference between it and Ublock other than ublock used more ram.

uBlock.
Free (as in freedom), Open Source, more efficient than ABP, not owned by the Chinese, doesn't sell whitelisting for money.

Should I use both or just uBlock?

uO let's you block scripts by domain and allow or noop certain scripts while still applying filters. Adblock plus doesn't do this.

Using 2 adblockers is pointless and inefficient. You will be using the same filter lists.

Just use ublock origin. That's been the best one for a couple of years now.

hmmm

I'm fine with blocking everything.
I'm going with personal experience, and what I observed on my machine, rather than someone else's analysis.

>I'm fine with blocking everything.
You block all javascript on all sites? Not with adblock plus.

because normalfags don't know about UBO

>You block all javascript on all sites? Not with adblock plus.
The point is, because I didn't understand your point, that I'm casual. It seemingly just works for me. As a user, I have no problems, therefore no reason to replace it.

See, idk what this is

When it comes to technology ignorance isn't always bliss. You don't know what can be done in ublock. But if you're happy with ABP then keep using it.

on a high end pc (not a thinkpad) the performance difference is non-existent vs using ublock

normies use abp because of this post.
because this normie will go download "ublock" now and realize it's malicious trash because you didn't say origin.
This normie will never again trust anything but abp.
THIS POST is why ppl use abp.

Imagine being this normie.

ive been using ghostry for a while, havent had many problems. any redpills on it i need to know about?

Ghostery is owned by an ad company that collects your block list, which can be used to determine browsing habits.

Also, I don't think ABP lets you make custom filters.

How do you get that part on the left? I only have the small window on the left.
We're using the same version.

go into the settings and select 'I am an advanced user'

i didn't even know that was a thing lol

ABP just werks and the only argument uMeme shills have is muh acceptable ads checkbox

because its the first result when you search for adblock. Also I've found it to be the most hassle free adblocker for normal people, and whenever I install it for them, I encourage them to tell other people.

low IQ normies and boomers

mainly because of this but i recently found nanoblocker and combined with nano defender it smashed the ass cheeks off abp/adblocker

kek. Also, good for you user. even plebbitors know about ublock origen. ABP has been compromised for quite some time.

normalfags don't know about ublock
actually I think most of them don't even know ad blockers exist

>normies google "block ads"
>result is Adblock extensions
>normies see the OG Adblock followed by Adblock Plus
>has 2x more user ratings and has Plus in the name
>"Plus? So it must be the upgraded version!"
Lots of NPCs don't know how to find ublock or setup simple filter lists.

i cant install ublock in falkon/qupzilla

Are Adguard and Privacy Badger good? Or are just jew botnet-tier placebo addons?

First of all, don't use ublock. Second of all, stop using meme browsers.
