stylemessiah Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 AdBlock Edge is better on Firefox than uBlock after several months testing - too much is blocked or overfiltered in uBlock and this slows down traffic.Sure you can spend time doing detective work, but i actually like to just use my PC :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I'm never going back to ABP OR ABE for Firefox that's the furthest thing from my mind I waited for years for a decent low ram ad blocker to come out for Firefox . I dont use Chrome anymore .because of privacy reasons .. You can read more about at this vpn sitehttps://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/8204/how-to-stop-webrtc-local-ip-address-leaks-on-google-chrome-and-mozilla-firefox-while-using-private-iOpera , Iron and the rest of them still have the same flaws as Google . I just use Maxthon for a spare browser now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 As far as benchmarking on chrome there's bad memory leak with extensions Making it imposable to benchmark to see witch is best for itIssue 441500: Popup UI of extensions causes systematic memory leaks (can be massive for complex popup UI)https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=441500this bug has been known since DEC still no fix in sightAs far as this issuseIssue 457492: Creating an option to block webrtc to prevent IP leakagehttps://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=457492Its not a bug they added this on purpose any site that has a stun server can check for your real ip using a vpn .So if you use chrome any flavor chances are your real ip is leaking if you use a vpn and if you use extensions its a great big memory hog ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
