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 lies not in how they look, but in their monetization policies and how they impact your computer's CPU overhead.

Honest Perimeter Filtering Without Deals

While AdBlock Plus allows paid ads through whitelisting and uBlock Origin breaks with Chrome's Manifest V3 transition, AdBlock Network stands as a modern, neutral option. The extension makes asynchronous read-only requests to multiple independent endpoints to fetch and refresh the local firewall, applying Address layer filters without selling telemetry.
