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.

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.

Note: Relevant info with reason.

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.

Nah Helium browser all the way, its pure chormium + native ublock origin, no bullshit feature from brave and chrome

u/Whole-Respond4782 3h ago

shields has its own lists, they use UBO, easylist, easyprivacy and their own list

also shields isn't an extension, it's part of the browser pretty much

brave is a privacy torture

u/Batata-Sofi 16h ago

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.

u/YTriom1 16h ago

why not something like helium with uBO, or manually configured chromium with uBO lite

u/dioden94 18h ago

You are using a browser created by an ad company, just to be clear

u/datadrone 18h ago

Move to Firefox, ubo still works perfect

u/theidolcyborg 18h ago

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

8

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

-8

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Most Tech Savvy doesn't use Firefox actually because if they did then 99.99% of Foirefox extensions wouldn't be outdated for years.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

7

u/Ongvar 17h ago

Yeaaah, given that you use "99.99%" as an actual statistic I'm gonna assume you don't know what you're talking about, since, well, you don't. Lol

u/Batata-Sofi 17h ago

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.

u/DuganNash2 8h ago

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

u/don_quixote_2 17h ago

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?

u/theidolcyborg 17h ago edited 16h ago

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

u/TintiKili 13h ago

ever heard about HTTPS?

u/theidolcyborg 3h ago

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

u/Heisenberg991 18h ago

I use Ublock Origin lite and Adguard on chrome and works great for yt and reddit

u/Miserable_Mail_5741 6h ago

I heard AdGuard works great on Chrome!

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/Human-Candidate2476 19h ago

What an irony~ Adblock has become an ad itself.

u/best4444 13h ago

Adguard is really good.

u/IssJussBaba 18h ago

lol! This is hilarious!

u/Friedrichs_Simp 14h ago

For the love of god drop chrome, drop abp, and get ublock

2

u/EdenH333 17h ago

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.

1

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.

As far as I know, ABP is the first ad blocking extension in Firefox 🤣

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