Wladimir Palant from ABP claim that all adblockers in browsers are like this'.Wladimir Palant has posted a response on the AdBlock Plus blog. Also, a Chrome developer using the handle “Klathmon” has posted numerous good comments in the Reddit discussion of this post, explaining why ad-blockers are inherently CPU- and memory-intensive, and why integrating ad-blocking into a browser wouldn’t necessarily help. But when gorhill invented Ublock for Firefox he made a big fat lie out of Wladimir Palant because all of them are no longer CPU- and memory-intensive.Why is it I can play full 1080p videos in my media player and use hardly no ram? And with APB in Firefox uses more ram than any app on my pc ? Its because add-on developers and browser developers dont know jack about hardware acceleration. We need more developers like gorhill. its 2015 apps should not have take a lot ram to do everyday task. I have add-ons that can bench mark add-ons . And I know witch ones are evil and witch are not. Not all are. ABP , ABE and AG add-ons are the worse ones out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CODYQX4 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I haven't really got the point of the AdBlockers running as programs and not browser extensions. Are they more efficient and/or block at the system level?I just use OS X and uBlock+uMatrix, and I have Hands Off!, and I can block in programs with that (Spotify, uTorrent, disable license checks). I'd think you could use an equivalent Windows Firewall and a browser adblocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven36 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 It use to be before you could use something like ad muncher and it used very little resource compared to using ABP Even though I used both for years . Over the years ad muncher has got were it cant block as much stuff because https protocols . Firefox + ABP just keeps getting heaver and heaver . I ran ABP +Ad muncher on a rig with just 2gb of ram with a small atom processor before . So how new your pc don't have jack to with . do with it. Why use more process when you don't have too ? I run a newer model PC. Windows 8 x64 upgraded to 8.1 trough the store with a AMD with Radeon HD Graphics processor . Still Firefox based browsers go faster using less ram with just ad muncher or using uBlock. If you multi task doing other things that's more ram for something else .

dcs18 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Browser-intensive resources are the rewards for unnecessarily resorting to 3rd party applications instead of specialized add-ons and also for depending on too many filters instead of employing one single customized one.No matter which instrument one chooses to block advertisements and never mind who pays the Makers of those instruments - the choice on whether to be foisted with those advertisements or not depends solely on one's own expertise.It matters not that Microsoft or any other giant pays the Makers - personally, I am unaffected.
