uBlock Origin

Top Pro

Thoughtful UI

Its non-invasive design shows you how many times something's been blocked on a given web page – that number quickly jumps to the double- if not triple-digits in some cases. See More

AdBlock Plus

Top Con

Users automatically opted in to whitelist

AdBlock+ has an automatic whitelist when installed that allows certain advertisers through the blocking mechanism. The fact that these advertisers pay for this privilege makes this particular scenario rife with conflict of interest. See More

Free & open source

Yanis's Experience

Specs

Blocking:All ads

Platforms:Browser Add off

Top Con

Uses too much RAM

AdBlock+ tends to use a lot of memory, which has been documented in many use cases as well as admitted by AdBlock themselves. Considering there are alternatives out there that can block ads successfully with half the RAM usage as AdBlock, one has to wonder why this is a problem specific to AdBock. See More

Blocks a wide selection of annoying ads
