login123 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 It is as I've used both. uBO allows for faster page loading from what I've noticed when on YouTube. Although I personally use Adblock Plus. I'm still new to this adblocking business, care to explain why? The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

Moderators Andavari Posted December 29, 2015 Moderators Share Posted December 29, 2015 Simple really Adblock Plus fan being I've used it the longest. That and it took me almost a year to figure this bit of info out that was breaking most adblocking software in Chrome/Chromium browsers: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=45274 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 OK, got it. Thanks. Those file paths are all different here, using a portable sandboxed version of Iron, but I get the idea.

Winapp2.ini Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 i use uBlock Origin as it is lighter on resources for Firefox than ABP ever was (esp. before they fixed this: https://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/2015/07/01/firefox-41-will-use-less-memory-when-running-adblock-plus/ ) winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted January 4, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 4, 2016 I've fully switched now to using uBlock Origin in both Firefox Portable and SRWare Iron Portable. The difference in page loading speeds is noticeably faster compared to Adblock Plus, in this case efficiency; page loading speeds, and less RAM consumption convinced me to switch.

trium Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 ublock 1.5.2 gorhill released this 9 days ago Changes: Chromium:Reverted fix to issue #533: possibly due to a browser bug, the fix was causing other issues as reported in the Chrome store ... With this extension enabled, Windows 10 not longer goes to sleep. POWERCFG /REQUESTS reports "WebRTC has active PeerConnections" from chrome.exe. Disabling this extension removes the request and allows Windows to sleep. and ... I came home today to find my PC (Win10 x64) wasn't asleep. I checked powercfg -requests and saw Chrome reporting "WebRTC has active PeerConnections". Looking in chrome://webrtc-internals/ the only entry is for: chrome-extension://cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm/background.html, { servers: [], iceTransportType: all, bundlePolicy: balanced, rtcpMuxPolicy: negotiate }, Which is this extension. What is uBlock doing to keep WebRTC hung up and thus prevent my PC from sleeping? I took a dump of the WebRTC Internals page if you'd like it for any other info. uBO was closing the connection, but it appears there might be a browser bug.

trium Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 ublock 1.5.3 gorhill released this 2 days ago New:Not part of uBlock Origin proper, but rather an online tool to help objectively bust the myth that with uBlock Origin ("uBO"), "pages load slower" than with Adblock Plus. The tool: Page load speed (updated). Changes:uBO will now automatically select the filter list which matches the current browser locale at first install time. This change does nothing if you have uBO already installed. Closed as fixed: Chromium:Elements being hidden without notice. uBlock crashes on browser startup if Chromium is compiled without webrtcThe original fix, removed in 1.5.2, was brought back, except that there is now a workaround (a browser bug?) to prevent the negative side-effect reported in the Chrome store. Core:Show number of popups blocked. The script tag filters ignore the whitelist Titlebar should have a settings icon. Why not add by default the ad list of the locale of the browser?

Moderators Andavari Posted January 8, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 8, 2016 uBO for Firefox was released yesterday 7 Jan 2016, I noticed the Chrome/Chromium version was released today 8 Jan 2016.

login123 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 uBO ver 1.5.2 with SRWare Iron ver 45 portable works fine here.

Moderators Andavari Posted January 17, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) He means this Corona Click to enlarge: When downloading uBO from it's homepage you have to right-click the download in Firefox and 'Save Link As', otherwise if you try to download it normally Firefox still won't allow the addon, in my case Firefox closed itself. After uBO is downloaded to your download folder just drag 'n' drop the downloaded uBlock0.firefox.xpi file onto the open Firefox window to update.
