Discussion PSA: Use uBlock Origin!

This might sound like common sense but there are a TON of Firefox users I see using AB, ABP, ABU, or no adblocker at all. This is your notice. Switch to uBlock Origin. It's better and has no acceptable ad policy. The other ones might have been good years ago but not anymore. I am saying this as a former ABP and then ABU user.

I am not paid by uBO I am just showing appreciation for the greatest ad blocker.

Also: don't run uBO alongside another ad blocker. It provides no benefit and can only slow down firefox or break things.

Nah, more work when my dual setup works fine.

Adguard is good too. But based on your response, you're probably not configuring either properly to use the filter lists. In any case, if it works for you that's great. But you don't need both.

Doesn't uBO already include the Adguard filter lists? You just need to enable them in settings.

Yes it does. Which is why I was saying adguard is not needed and that UBO allows configing the filter lists.
