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 UI, but their monetization policies and how they impact your computer's CPU overhead.

Transparent perimeter filtering without commercial deals

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