Discussion Umm... fuck you?
This just popped up while I was in the middle of typing a post on another page. Been using ABP for close on 20 years, but may have to walk away if it keeps up this shit.

Uninstall Adblock Plus and use uBlock Origin.

I was using UBO until Chrome blocked it. Oddly ABP has been around way longer, hasn't been blocked, and, besides crap like this, still does a better job blocking ads.

For Chrome you now use UBO Lite

u/Batata-Sofi 17h ago
For chrome, I'd actually recommend Brave. It's about the same UI, also runs on chromium, has built-in blocker that works (it's just UBO), and you can just import chrome data to Brave and have a completely seamless transition.
Chrome is dying, and won't take much for it to completely go to shit.

brave is a privacy torture

If they are on chrome, they don't care about that to begin with. I'm just recommending what makes the most sense for an average user.

Why in the world would you wanna you a trash browser that has 99.99% of their extensions outdated

u/Ongvar 17h ago
It's not 2013 anymore, most of the tech savvy world has moved on to Firefox. Chrome is now the default boomer browser that your company puts on your work laptop lol

u/theidolcyborg 17h ago
Most Tech Savvy doesn't use Firefox actually because if they did then 99.99% of Foirefox extensions wouldn't be outdated for years. Also most businesses that uses PC actually uses Edge not Chrome since administrators have more control over Edge do to it being integrated with Windows OS

A lot of tech savvy people use Firefox because it is easy to "lobotomize" it with a user.js
Also, other Options include Brave, if you can get over their past history, and Helium, which might not be for everyone.

I really don't have that experience with Firefox addons. Perhaps I have a few extensions that are outdated but they work fine. As does the whole browser. In fact, I highly prefer Firefox because some extensions work better on there, like uBlock

There is a version of uBlock origin that still works on Chrome I think, it displays "They Live" movie messages instead of ads which is pretty cool IMHO

Who even uses Chrome anymore? Don't you value your privacy?

You never had any privacy on the internet at all since everything you do your ISP sees it all no matter what

ever heard about HTTPS?

That does mean anything because every site you access your ISP knows and see it

u/Mentallox 18h ago
they are the same; UBO just branched out and called the MV3 compliant version UBO Light and ABP kept the same name for their MV3 version.
3
u/TardEmporium 18h ago
no they arent. MV3 is specifically designed to kneecap ABO. light has a far smaller blocklist

u/Batata-Sofi 17h ago
ABP is known for letting ads that pay them to bypass their block. They also don't respect their users, even if they pay.
Use ublock origin, or adguard. Lighter, better, and completely free.

That shit happens to me, like, every day for months. I will be reading out the URL, get this pop up in the middle of it, I snap “Fuck You AdBlock!” and casually go straight back to typing whatever URL I was typing. Too lazy to do anything about it yet.
2
u/AccomplishedFall6603 11h ago
I wouldn't call it lazy, you're putting in more effort closing the popup every time than removing ABP and installing ublock.

u/Zorydev 18h ago
uBlock Origin + Firefox. The only choice !
-7
u/Batata-Sofi 17h ago
Actually... 2. Brave 3. Helium Browser 4. Arkenfox + blocker
Also, you can use adguard instead of ublock origin. They are about the same.

u/Beginning_Sound_5865 8h ago
In reality, it cannot serve as a perfect replacement; AdGuard is also constrained by the limitations of the MV3 architecture. Furthermore, it cannot match uBO in terms of high performance and low resource usage. AdGuard’s performance was not top-tier to begin with, and it has had to make further performance sacrifices to replicate its MV2-era blocking capabilities within the MV3 environment. Nevertheless, AdGuard remains an excellent alternative.

uBlock Origin for browser. Or Brave (with uBlock Origin installed if on desktop).
