Why haven't you switched to uBlock yet, anon?
There's a Firefox version now.

How does µBlock handle filtersets with duplicates?
For example if I have EasyList already and add Fanboy's Ultimate on top.
Will this decrease performance? Increase memory usage? What happens?
>>46690778
No, it parses the lists.
So why should I use this?

>being a shill who can't into the actual product name
>>46690778
>How does µBlock handle filtersets with duplicates?

It merges them seamlessly. There's no doubles.
Why would you use Easylist if you have ultimate though?
>>46690793
>So why should I use this?
Read, nigger.
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
>>46690800
>Why would you use Easylist if you have ultimate though?
I wouldn't. But some lists are default and one might forget to disable the defaults after adding a "bundle" filterlist.
>>46690778
it parses the list and discards the duplicates
>>46690793
Use it if you'd like. Don't if you don't care about memory usage.
Wait until 1.0 before going full recommend mode OP. It works great, but it can be better still.
This thing patch the hosts file.
What do you think?

Well I have 8gb of ram, saving 100mb isn't something i'm really bothered about.
Really would like to use this but no icon in the toolbar is pissing me the fuck off.
>>46691008
The problem with only using the hosts file is that it doesn't take care of the cosmetics.
>>46691014
It's not so much total memory usage as the more memory the browser uses, the more sluggish it gets. At least this is true for Firefox.

It should be there. You can select it to not have counters as well.
>>46691079
I don't really see the point in the constant threads. Seems more like OP is trying to make people annoyed about µBlock thus making some less inclined to use it. It's a silly thing, but it happens.
The only addon that stands to gain money from people using it is APB, thanks to the acceptable ads thing.

You do realize that ABE is just ABP without acceptable ads, right?
The whole acceptable ads thing is a seperate filter list, which isn't included in uBlock.
ABE also suffers from the same performance issues as ABP.
>>46691405
You realize telling people to leave doesn't actually make them leave, right?
>>46691403
nope
it was called "pre-beta"
they had a different alpha version & nightly

here it is
https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/exceptionrules.txt
It's not included by default in uBlock, if you want it, you actually have to go down to custom filters and add it.
>>46691405

Adblock Edge has always been the alternative, shilling your shitty products in /g/ isn't a way to win people over.
>>46691733
>Adblock Edge has always been the alternative
But it's not an alternative. It's the same exact shit except for 1 fucking rulelist removed from the options.
>>46691733
This is my favorite meme
>>46691733
>Adblock Edge has always been the alternative
ABE is literally just ABP without the acceptable ads checkbox. As a result, it uses just as many RAM/CPU cycles as ABP.
We should all use Adblock edge. It's le best adblock :^)

Of course.

Yes it does "sum of all CPU usage samples (% per second) gathered during benchmark.

3. The ability to add exceptions using the whole gamut of regex

>>46692607
okay then. trying it out. thanks guys.
>>46692366
I just checked for some 10 minute, what requests I got in Firefox for this are:
Favicons
Extension updates & queries
userscript updates
4chanX json for thread updates.
more favicons
blocklist.addon.mozilla, which seems to be a filter depending on your system to remove out extensions you're not able to install( from the addon manager)
raw.githubusercontent.com from gorhill's filter.txt
client1.google/ocsp <- cert server, disabled it from prefereces > advanced > certs
And that's pretty much it, it's mostly favicons and nothing really malicious, this is also a nice way to see if an addon is being a botnet.
Really nice feature.
>>46692636
seems alright. definitely not polished enough for me to switch yet. also noticed some serious issues with filling in passwords on certain sites (as in, firefox would not fill in my passwords unless i disabled ublock). will wait a few more versions and try again.
>>46692928
Fill a bug report about that, please.
>>46692928
It's probably an issue with the default lists
uBlock has more lists enabled out of the box compared to ABP. Try again with just EasyList.
>>46692942
try visiting a few different forums with easylist, easyprivacy, fanboy's annoyance list, and the two custom ublock filters enabled. that's all i had enabled, and firefox would not fill in my passwords until i disabled ublock, unfortunately.
>>46692928
>also noticed some serious issues with filling in passwords on certain sites (as in, firefox would not fill in my passwords unless i disabled ublock
Which sites?
>>46693017
Huh, that sucks. Really strange. That hasn't happened to me before, and it seems like you were using (mostly) default lists.
Like >>46692939 says, maybe file a bug report on GitHub if you have time? If you don't report the issue, it'll never get fixed. It sounds like a pretty serious issue.
Don't forget to include browser/filter lists/websites.
>>46690587
This seems to break random websites. Ad Block Plus is still the best.
ABP > muBlock > AB
>>46692928
input fields are usually under inline scripts.

This works fine for me on uBlock for Firefox. Other one I didn't try at all.
>>46693174
>week4paug.net
I've got a crapton of filter lists, and I was able to type in the user field, the password field, and the search field
>>46693174

I couldn't find any other input fields
>>46693191

>>46693231
you are not understanding at all. make an account. let firefox save your password / login info. have ublock enabled. watch how firefox does not fill in your login info. disable ublock. watch how firefox fills in your login info. jesus christ. stop being obtuse.
>>46693069
Like what? I've been using it for a while now and never ran into any problems.
>>46693248
and shit. i tried it again, and with ublock enabled, firefox in-fact will not fill out ANY of my saved login information. the master password prompt won't even show up. this is under xubuntu 14.04 with the latest stable firefox.

it's a good blocker, and appears to be light than abp, but it's kinda buggy. wait a few more versions.

Wait until it's gone through code review, don't just install random shit because /g/ tells you to.
>>46693755
hahah i like you
>>46693270
A specific example would be Comedy Central. Ads continued to load in the background for a full 30 minutes which took me to a total of 1k ads blocked (surely degrading performance). And ads placed in breaks are not handled properly so the video won't play. Ad Block Plus handles this site just fine.
There were a few other sites I visited that simply wouldn't load at all without muBlock disabled. Can't remember any examples.
>>46692928
not to sound like a shill for ublock but you really shouldn't use firefox's built-in password tool
it's plain text
>>46694362
not with a master password. that encrypts your logins, and only an idiot would use it without setting a master password.

>>46694359
>Ads continued to load in the background for a full 30 minutes which took me to a total of 1k ads blocked
This is simply not the case for either of them. Requests from some domains can be made multiple times over time, and both uBlock and ABP block those requests. How they alert you about those requests may be different, but they are blocked. If you don't want to take my word for it, open up the view box for ABP and the network tool on the developer menu on any popular YouTube video, then watch the requests. The list of blocked objects will grow, but the network window will show that you're not downloading those blocked items.
The rest of the stuff I can't explain, but they both block requests.

Yeah, I've been using µBlock for a couple of months now. I haven't done any comparisons to ABP, but the performance difference isn't big enough to be noticeable on my PC. I still prefer µBlock because it's not associated with advertising companies and it does everything ABP does for me.

you need PeerBlock 1.1 with a list of google IPs
some of the IPs are listed on I-BlockList if you search for "goog"

copy all the IP ranges in a simple .txt file and add it manually to PeerBlock (don't be scared, it's extremely easy)
>>46701155
I just noticed that they removed all the google Inc. and cloud IPs; I swear they were there not long ago (last year?);
bloody hell, they probably get a legal notice from kikes
this is a sad world we live in
Why do you even use an adblocker? There's zero reason to use one with OS X and if you actually care about financially supporting the news websites and discussion forums you visit.
