Is it finally happening?

Yes it is, friend.

>uses even less memory than no addon
da faq
shit is rigged
>>45680862
it's happening
>>45680874
... because "no addon" requires loading and caching the ads?
>>45680874
>less memory when ads are being blocked
well gee, i wonder
>>45680589
Holy fuck, OP! You just made my day much happier.

In other words, it's for poorfags with shit computers.
Get out.

Not to mention it improves starting the browser considerably.

I don't have that shit, I have a 5 year old computer that was shit when I got it and I still don't have any goddamn issues with ABP and noscript.
You fucking assclown children need to shut your mouths.

and therefore no better alternative will ever exist

Tell me one advantage this has over ABP+NS that isn't about poorfags needing it to run on their 12 year old Dells.

Oh look, he doesn't have an answer and is buttmad about having a 256MB Dell from 2002 that can't run modern software.
>>45681061
Not him, but how faster and memory efficient is not a worthwhile advantage? Do you think because most people has 4 GiB of RAM or more software shouldn't be optimized?
>>45681061
>optimization is not important
>>45681083
It's not about optimization, it's about a featureset. If you want optimized, don't run Firefox or Chrome, use links. Oh wait, you won't, because barely anything works with it.
>>45681095
It is if it actually gains something or at least is absolutely equivalent.
What does this have on ABP? Can you do everything it does? No? Then what's the fucking point?
Are you all this goddamn stupid? Seriously?

How so? I'm pretty sure it is about optimization.

ITT: buttmad ABP shills pissed that they won't be able to extort ad providers anymore.
>>45681115
>it's about a featureset
Yeah... about that... it actually offers more than ABP.
µBlock currently offers you more:
Extends the filter syntax.
Local mirroring (CDN caching), a currently experimental but promising feature.
Dynamic filtering, the ability to point-and-click to filter on/off script and iframe tags, on a 1st- or 3rd-party basis. I consider this to be a key feature of µBlock.
Element picker is more modern.
Let you select most common filter lists out of the box, without the need to import them first.
Supports hosts files (hostnames are translated into the equivalent of ||www.example.com^).
Ability to whitelist single web page, or a whole section of a web site.
Ability to not load cosmetic filters (saves lot of memory).
A log of the net requests showing allowed/blocked net requests, and which filter, if any, matched each net request.
A superior cache implementation.
Can parse hosts files.

plebbit is the fucking worst in that regard. say any bad word against our lord and saviour ABP (in the same sentence mention ABE, doesn't matter) and your post is downboated to the seafloor

No. Keep using ABP, you deserve it.
>>45681081
>modern software
Wasn't ABP last re-factored in early 2006?
>>45681061
Maybe it doesn't have 12 shady corporations attached to it which blackmail companies and then whitelist their own fucking ad network.

Not that poster, but no it isn't. That's the same link Deathamns posted the other day for the extension. He's the one working on both ports.
Yes!

Oh boy.
This is good news, but I'd be really happy to see uMatrix for Firefox. That would be amazing.
>>45682277
Well, that would be a bit trickier but it will EVENTUALLY happen. If you can code and use firefox, do it yourself, Gorhil would be more than glad to help you.

EXCUSE ME
I have an i5, not an i7. Do have 32gb of ram though.
what is a motherfucking hosts file you autists
I'd rather use up advertisers bandwidth.
>>45682601
i thought about switching but then this made me laugh and i won't
>>45682601
Enjoy being tracked across the internet.
>>45682548
>what is a motherfucking hosts file you autists
Do you not know where you are?
Maybe this is just some confirmation bias, but I just checked my ram usage on waterfox and it was about 250 MB on startup. Its never been that low before(I have always used adblock on all firefox/waterfox). I'll see how this addon lives up after a day's usage. Regular adblock uses about 900 MB of ram on long use. I'm hoping this will stay around 500mb.
>>45682548
Doesn't hide placeholders and isn't intended for ad blocking faggot.
use qutebrowser
both chrom* and firefox are bloated pieces of garbage
>>45682725
While on the subject, is waterfox really that much better than firefox? I remember seeing comparisons and firefox came out on top in terms of speed, but that was three years ago.
>>45681061
it loads pages faster
mozilla has openly condemned ABP for the way they filter ads because it completely wrecks the way pages load and turns a multithreaded process into a singlethreaded process due to checking every single HTTP request. They found that ABP reduces page loadtime anywhere between 30%-300%.
>>45682725
The extensions themselves (upon loading) use very little memory.
ABP: 36.3 MB
uBlock: 7.09 MB
Then the difference is just atrocious. And to think ABP's developer (Palant) shot Raymond down and falsely talked shit about his proof of concept. Hilarious really.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=988266#c38
And scroll down to see the response. This is what created uBlock.
>>45682795
Injecting 20,000 CSS rules in every page/frame is the worst. Palant is nearly braindead.
>>45682679
>>what is a motherfucking hosts file you autists
>Do you not know where you are?
lel, this.
seriously, stop bloating your browsers with useless addons or at least dont use a shit ton of stuff mostly having the same functionality.
Why would you use an addon to block adds and use memory and then start bitching when you can avoid with a 100kb file on your system.
crashes tabs upon restart on nightly
2/10 won't recommend
it's awesome on chromium. 10/10 i try to install in every pc i touch
>>45682854
I wasn't siding with you, autist.
The hosts file does not provide the functionality that uBlock gives you. You cannot whitelist pages easily, you cannot apply cosmetic filters, you can't cache CDN providers, amongst other things. It'd just break a shitton of websites needlessly.
