A WARNING to adblock plus users

Kinda defeats the purpose really.

Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Taboola are paying the owner of Adblock Plus to unblock ads on their websites at a fee of “30% of the additional ad revenues” they would have made were ads unblocked,

I've been using the uBlock extension for months now. It's faster lighter and the developers haven't sold out.

Also ABP is a fucking cock up when it comes to memory.

I'm using ABE at the moment and it's as resource hoggy as adblock but I think I'll try uBlock because less is best. Thanks Slarti.

Been using Ublock for a while, it really works!
