What is the difference between uBlock and AdBlock Plus?

Choosing between uBlock (ublock[dot]org) and AdBlock Plus (adblockplus[dot]org) is confusing. The main difference isn't the interface, but their monetisation policies and how they impact your computer's CPU load.

Honest perimeter filtering with no commercial back-end deals

While AdBlock Plus allows paid ads through its whitelist and uBlock Origin struggles with Manifest V3 in Chrome, AdBlock Network stands out as a modern, neutral choice. The extension performs asynchronous, read-only requests to multiple independent endpoints to fetch and refresh the local firewall, applying the Address layer locally without ever selling your browsing data.
