checking this out, RAM has dropped a bit, thanks bones.

yep, working great so far for me too. dropped my ram by 80-90mb. great find

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.

i didnt even know ABP was problematic, or ABE existed. but this may be worth a try.

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.

ABE was fine for me. No blatant issues. Only some random quick minor cpu bursts. But this is really much better; especially ram wise.

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.

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 ).

^ That. I already stick with it.

One of the best tips ever Bones. That is why I live the 'Q. STFU assholes.

Fixed that for you ;)

^ How evil. :)

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.

^ No, you are simply too young to appreciate porn.

^ lol, the truth :D

^^ "appreciate", wonderful :D

Hahaha.
