So, anyone concerned with a maximum liberty in his sites’ rendering choices will have to either add Policeman to Adblock either choose uBlock. But be aware that many sites now proceed with more and more tricky codes (and not only javascript : I know a site which makes an external call with a simple regularly renewed css file, unblockable with Adblock, unblockable with uBlock, but blocked by the latter as it may forbid external calls independently of the source process). But, as always, more a product proposes granular settings more the user needs at least a basic knowledge of the product : a motorcycle is not a bicycle.
ADBLOCK PLUS EDGE FULL
But for the time being I cannot honor the idea of making a choice on the basis of coercionĬoncerning uBlock (both versions) compared to Adblock (both versions) one thing is obvious : uBlock requires more intervention if the user wishes to take advantage of the full potential of the add-on whilst Adblock is more of a set and forget extension which participates also to the reality of its exceptionally wide audience. Let’s wait and see what becomes of this Mozilla’s new add-on policy and, should it be ratified, what will be uBlock0’s attitude.
ADBLOCK PLUS EDGE INSTALL
Martin, you’ve got a point when stating “ most Firefox users won’t be able to install the Github hosted extension anymore unless it is submitted to AMO as well“. If you wish the best of uBlock i’d advise you choose uBlockâ‚€

Any user can find the latest developments of uBlock on Github pages, be it the original now named uBlockâ‚€ because no longer “official” or the the relay bouncing on uBlock but keeping the original name… Until that changes, it should be the one used by users of the web browser.” AMO is not a church should an add-on be a god. Here I disagree with Martin when he states in the article “ Firefox users, it is easy enough however as there is only one uBlock extension available for the browser at the time of writing. But uBlock is frequently updated and these updates are available immediately on dedicated Github pages, be it the “official” releases (chrisaljoud) or the “original”, called now a fork (gorhill). One word concerning the split between the new official repository and the fork built by the creator (gorhill) now that officially the repository has changed hands, ironical as it is (and for reasons I ignore) : uBlock is listed on AMO mainly because of what is expected in the near future, that is add-ons not available (hence accepted) on AMO will be refused. Let it be reminded that it’s a user’s choice that is the argument in the debate of site advertizing and never the add-ons whatever they be that only propose the tool and most often without demagogy. UBlock is by all means the very best and the only add-on in its category to fulfill the expectations of a browser user in terms of blocking what he considers as intrusive. Then came in uBlock which not only combined the functions of the two first but also added the possibility to include HOSTS as filters’ lists, and all this with infinitely much less RAM, CPU and Firefox start delay impact. This subreddit is suitable for both Office warriors and newbies.User of Adblock Plus/Edge since almost always, I added the Policeman add-on when it appeared in order to control pages’ external calls.
