Is a company with paid subscription model and over 120 employees and often offers innovations first (because of their resources and manpower).Ħ.

Includes Stealth option (sets expiration date of cookies, which is only a bonus for people using Chrome - other mainstream browsers offer a option to delete all at browser close)ĥ. Includes Google Safe browsing option which is only a bonus for people using Edge Browsing - Chrome and Firefox use this option, so for these mainstream browser it is uselessĤ. Has the easiest to use logger (to add rules or create exceptions)ģ. Has the most advanced element blocker/option to block ads manually using AG's 'block an ad' wizzardĢ. Offers the best filter AdBlock format compatibility (digests its own, uBO filter format and ABP format)ġ. Maintains its own filters, reducing the chance of website breakageģ. Is really set and forget (even adds language filters automatically)Ģ. AdGuard (agree with it is the most user friendly option and the best choice for average and set and forget PC type of user)ġ. Regarding the MV3 versions: uBO is faster, AG is way more mature with also more user configurable options.ġ. It'd be great if you could share your experiences/thoughts on this extension.I like the two extensions and usually switch from one to the other. You can add custom filters just like adblock/plus as well. Again, I can't really definitively measure the resources used but the settings interface on its own is quite well made and organised. However, it is quite barebones without too much control over the ad blocking.Īdguard has been in development for Chrome for some time now that claims to be a lightweight and modern version of Adblock with a simpler interface and most importantly a lower consumption of resources. I found Bluhell Firewall to be very effective and lightweight (I didn't measure it though). I had been using Adblock Edge in the past but after stumbling upon uBlock (for Chrome) I was intrigued to see if Firefox had any lightweight ad blocking extensions.

I was trying to compare some lightweight adblock alternatives as I need something for a low end machine that doesn't have too much RAM.
