AdBlockPlus replacement
-
Cross-posted from the Lounge[^] as requested by OriginalGriff. As Matthew pointed out last December[^], using AdBlockPlus can dramatically slow down your browser, and eat memory like it's the last bacon sandwich on Earth. Scott Hanselman's just posted a link to a new alternative: µBlock[^]. It claims to have a much lower memory footprint, much lower CPU, and block more ads. NB: Avast currently claims[^] the add-on has a poor reputation. It's possible that this is just because not many Avast users have installed it, but caveat emptor.
