Re: New on the market / Fresh from the repos
Months ago, when I switched from Chromium to Chrome (performance reasons in youtube), I also changed ABP to AdBlock and later Adblock Edge, fuck, I tried everything that was available in the Extension store. Heavy sites were still quite shit. Then I switched to ublock (I have not tried it in FF because I don't have anything Mozilla anymore), and it's the only Adblocker that actually keeps what it promises. The really nice thing is that you can actually add a bunch of filter sources without slowing down surfing (remember, I live with between 512MB and 1.5GB on my computers).
I can really recommend it (opposed to any other ad blocker, right now)

Cool, I have never had issues or RAM problem with ABE but I'll give this a try.
Re: New on the market / Fresh from the repos
i didnt even know ABP was problematic, or ABE existed. but this may be worth a try.

Re: New on the market / Fresh from the repos
Ok, I can already say this: so far so good. Easy to set up (I'm on latest Firefox), easy to customize. Can't tell about RAM usage, but I'll keep this for a while and see if it works better than ABE for me. Thanks for the tip, guys.

^ Try with youtube and a few fat sites like lifehacker or so, you'll definitely notice.

Re: New on the market / Fresh from the repos
ABE was fine for me. No blatant issues. Only some random quick minor cpu bursts. But this is really much better; especially ram wise.

Re: New on the market / Fresh from the repos
Ok. After an entire afternoon with Firefox always opened, browsing from Tweetdeck to various blogs, githubs and a couple of Youtube videos: we got a winner. Again, thanks guys for the tip.
Re: New on the market / Fresh from the repos
Been using this since discovered it on Lifehacker, this is the best adblock out there without any annoyances and the element picker is awesome ! Comes with bunch of filters ( not pre-enabled ) and the ram usage is way lighter than any other adblock extenstions I have used. Just one thing though, doesn't happen that frequently like it used to but sometimes you have to manually update the filter cache ( make sure to purge them first ).
If you can do it go ahead and do it, if you can't do it then don't even criticize it. - gingerdesu

^ How evil. :)
Re: New on the market / Fresh from the repos
I use Firefox without any sort of adblocking program and I can honestly say that I never have any ads pop up ever. I must have l33t mode turned on in Firefox or something.
