uBlock Origin vs ABPrime vs ABL

[fifonik]

I used to use ADBlock Plus long time ago and then switched to uBlock Origin and still using it.

Are there any benefits of using ABPrime or ABL instead?

Am I missing anything important?
Just curious.

Thanks.

No. No.

Some people find ABL and ABPrime more user friendly, while uBlock Origin is generally more efficient. In addition, ABPrime guarantees that your filter lists will always be loaded when the browser starts; uBlock Origin provides an option for this, but does not guarantee with absolute certainty that there will be no network requests before the filter lists are loaded like ABPrime inherently does.

Where is this option in uBo? I can't find it.

I read earlier about the requests blocking before browser starts by ABPrime (I also was not aware that uBO can do the same).
Not a big deal for me as I do not restart browser for weeks. Also, I do not care about "leaking" some requests that should be blocked after restart.
Probably I am not as paranoid as I should be.

I read about uBO efficiency as well.
However, I have not tested it myself (too lazy) and I do not believe in everything that developers claim about their own program.
It might not be 100% correct, you know.

So looks like the main difference is UI.
This is also not really important for me as I do not use ad blocker's UI often. It just works behind the scene.

Anyway, thanks for replies. I think someone else might find them useful while choosing ad blocker.

P.S. I have ad blocker on my router so probably I need to check its efficiency and if it is good -- disable uBO completely or at least remove duplicated subscriptions.
