you guys should check out adguard adblocker, it also uses little ram. Firefox 37 beta 5 is out btw.

Very true, especially when compared to ABP. There's the 2.0 beta available on their site which is said to use less resources than the 1.x builds.

I don't really like Adguard, it uses a lot of CPU and doesn't block as much.

just tried v2.01 beta for chrome, reduced ram usage from 96mb to 85mb. I have around 25 tabs open btw. They have open sourced the extension too which is cool, ublock is open source too. Hopefully both dev teams will copy the best code from each other and make both extensions even better.

Report such issues, regardless of which extension is used.

Speaking of extensions, I find LastPass works a lot better in Nightly with e10s enabled without many lock-ups, freezes and slow page loading issues these days. But this issue still remains.

Sure, but I would preferably use the one with the lowest footprint.

Are those stats from adguard the extension or the standalone app?

The extension. It is cross platform.

For those who are in between "ublock" vs "Adblock Plus", should try this magical preference:

privacy.trackingprotection.enabled

Turn it ON and see the difference:

Why not uBlock, Ghostery and privacy.trackingprotection.enabled = True ?

Focus should be performance without compromise in memory, CPU usage and amazing ad free experience, when it can be achieved with single preference then why should go with other two to increase memory usage, CPU consumption and not to mention CO₂ emission (last part is joke BTW)...

I am happy with this preference.

6,202 · March 19, 2015

For me it doesn't matter, I've got plenty of RAM, a SSD and a fast CPU. And I don't have issues with ads, but then again I don't use ad-blocking browser extensions.

But that preference just block cookies right?

Does uBlock not also block all the same things as Ghostery? I've never used Ghostery so maybe I'm not understanding exactly what it does.

Yeah, it blocks third party cookies but somehow it is blocking some ads for me as well.

Ghostery is rogue software that reports your activities using GhostRank to the same third parties you are trying to block. Supposedly it blocks tracking. uBlock fulfills Ghostery's purpose nearly completely, if you enable the privacy filters, and RequestPolicy might fill in the remaining gaps.

Firefox is coming to getcha, Chrome!

badly.. my mates and nearly all the IT guys in the office have moved back to Firefox from chrome even the new pcs builds for staff we're being dirty and putting Firefox as alternative browser for IE instead of chrome. :laugh:

There were some fixes for desktop APZ landed in the latest nightly, so I'm playing with that enabled and Silk, man it's nice.

There are some downsides though, pages that would cause Firefox to "jank" while scrolling, now scroll smoothly, but now don't render anything while scrolling because the content process is falling behind. It's not that different to Chrome/Safari, but man it doesn't look nice.
