So, uBlock or uBlock Origin and why?
Origin because it's maintained.

Hipster fucking pleb.
Just use adblock. It allows you to support websites that use unintrusive advertising.

adblock eats up ram
>>51487206
Neither you stealing peace of shit.

>>51487372
Because you can't manually whitelist sites using any ad blocking extension?

I'd want that cause why?

GET THE FUCK OUT SHILL
Just because they aren't giant Flash ads with sound doesn't mean they aren't harmful and track you.
>>51487206
Well, uBlock is abandoned and uBlock Origin is actively developed. By the original creator nonetheless.
I'll let you figure out which the sane option is.

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commits/master
Adblock Plus is a sellout
uBlock regular is abandonware
Origin because it's not malware
origin because ublock is depreciated
>>51487206
Origin because it's maintained by the Original dev

by your definition if I go to movie theatre, and just by not looking at the advertisements before the movie I'm stealing from someone provided I already paid for the movie tickets? haha you are a fucking joke and this society's pleb

I don't pay websites to view them though.

>this is what neckbeards actually believe
A restaurant is a pull medium, not a push medium. Go ahead and request food and then decline to request paying for it.
>>51488032
that example would be
>go to restaurant and order just a burger
>they bring you burger, stale salad and cold fries.
you are only paying for the burger and decline to eat the salad and fries
>>51488051
You're http request aks for the whole site. Ads are part of the whole site.
>ask for burger
>waiter brings you burger
>FUCK YOU I NEVER ASKED FOR SALAD ON THE BURGER

That is part of the site. If you buy a newspaper you also buy the ads that come with it.
Seriously, neckbeards, what's so hard to understand? Can you literally not stop pirating?

but what's stopping me from ignoring or cutting out the ads on the newspaper?
>>51488128

>>51488207
It's not that, it's just a fact that a huge site is implementing adblocking and the other big whales will follow. Within a short time furryfox/chrome will remove all adblockers from the app store and disable installing any 3rd party non store apps, you know it's gonna happen.
I mean people here will be fine as there are other ways around it, but the majority of normies that are now all starting to use adblock will be reverted back to sheep status.
>>51487206
ABL because it prevents ads from loading instead of merely hiding them.

This.
Anyone that doesn't understand this is lying to themselves or completely retarded.
>>51488138
You said it yourself retard, nothing is stopping you from ignoring the ads on the site or even removing them after the fact. Adblock would be like getting the newspaper from a third party source who scans the paper and then removes the ads and gives out the new ad-free paper to people, which is clearly stealing.
>>51488146

People will just jump ship onto another email provider. This is stupid for them to think they can actually make it work.
>>51488204
That is an interesting way to put it. The twist on the story would have been instead of continuing to serve to the red lapel pin customers to tell them they will be refused service until they remove them. Then the customers have the options of just ignoring the place and laugh as they go out of business from the arrogance or accept the fate and enjoy their shit meals.
True adblockers refuse to request content as it's blocked and saves bandwidth. Some merely don't display it even though it was requested.
>>51488696
They won't. You underestimate peoples laziness or care for this kind of this among normies

Sure you're paying for the car and the gas already, but driving down some roads is a privilege, would you rather every road worth driving down was a toll road?
>>51488128

Are you retarded?

Webpages do not correlate with real life. I do not have a choice to remove advertising in the physical world. If I can personalize my Web experience to be less obnoxious, I will. If I could completely remove advertising, I would. However, that won't happen. So I will continue to not view adverts on the Web.
>$0.05 cents have been deposited into your Google AdSense account, Pajeet. Thank you for doing business with us.
>>51488724
if it was a toll road they wouldn't need billboards. Also what >>51488750 said.
>>51488724
Don't mix real life with digital shit. Nobody is stealing cars and tearing down billboards.
If a site has issues with adblockers, they can use a paywall. If their content is good enough to make people pay, they will survive. If it isn't, they are obsolete and not meant to make money either way.

You probably pirate software and music and movies and other goods online. What's stopping you from getting things for free in real life? An easy way to avoid costs with no legal repercussions?
Kill yourself freeloading scum.

The police, and beyond that, revenge from original owners. Why do you think looting is rampant during natural disasters?
Should I uninstalled uBlock for safari now and install ABP? Since uBlock is abandoned.
>>51488390
At that point, i'd just start forking chromium and removing the addon checks myself. Remove any google requests, and all done.
>>51489456
sure go ahead
>>51488677
Do you know how much that slows domain requests down? A fuck ton, it has to scan that massive text file every fucking time it goes to a domain, it's pretty disgusting.
I do use it for blocking Skype ads, but that's only 5 extra lines.
>>51489588
>latency when looking up a domain that is blocked: 0ms
>latency when looking up a domain that isn't blocked: at least 30ms
you are forgetting that the dns server is also just a huge list of domains. a hosts file circumvents the dns and actually improves speed ya dingus.
>>51489621
Go put 1,000,000 lines in a hosts file and see how quickly it loads webpages. You clearly don't know how computers search simple text files if you think it's not putting a damper on speed.
Now, if they used an sql database or something for the hosts file, and separated it by numeric/alphabetical order, it would make a way smaller difference. But no, it's just going down a huge file and looking for specific lines of text. It makes a noticable difference on applications that request multiple domains, like online vidya. And yeah, 11,000 vs 1,000,000 is a big stretch, but the difference vs a smaller hosts file is still legible.
The biggest problem I have with ads is their trackers so I will continue blocking them.
>>51488897
why?
>>51487429
>unused ram that I don't have is wasted ram
Many ISPs/Cell phone companies have data caps
Ads eat into data cap
It is my right to block them.. fuck off anyone who disagrees
>>51490520
I'm not disagreeing with you that ad blocking is good, but we should be fighting the fucking carriers for that data cap
>>51490645
Well I agree about that, and I disable ad blocking on certain sites.
