AdBlock Prime

Unread post by prosecco » 2018-09-23, 15:33

AdBlock Prime seems to be the now standard replacement for all former adblockers whether Firefox or PM.

I have installed it as there is no other choice but I have to say I would have preferred UBlock Original as this is a very good adblocker (also very useful for blocking and managing other things) but not only this, it also requires much less CPU resources than AdBlock Plus (and, I suppose, AB Prime which is basically AdBlock Plus, judging from its interface).

This is a known fact which you can verify for yourself by doing a search.

In short, is there a chance we will get a clone or a derivative of UBlock Origin at some time?

BTW - RequestPolicy is one other extension which was extremely useful and still worked with PM 27.x. So my question goes for RequestPolicy as well.

Just as a side note and a FYI: I will not spend more time on this forum than absolutely necessary. I will also try not to respond to trolling, putdowns or condescending comments as this is costing me too much.

Hello,
You have the choice :)
About uBlock, you can install this version :
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/relea ... y-1.16.4.4
this version (XUL edition) works without problem with Pale Moon 27/28.
and
https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/ublock0-updater/
Diversity is key.

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

Nice! Looks like I was wrong about that, and I am happy about that, thanks.

Got it, and it works like a charm - as it usually does.

No idea where I got the idea UBlock Origin wasn't available for PM anymore. But I think I actually tried before to install it, and PM refused it. Could that be? This whole extension problem is rather annoying, to be honest.

But what the heck! One for all, and all for UXP! I guess.

ABPrime is just one of several adblocker options on PM 28. Adblock Latitude is also an option.
