Discussion
for get to mention also abp do business with actual advertisers and promote a policy of "there are good ads". 😅
This is literally from their site:
<< Not All Ads Are Bad
Websites need money to stay free. Support them by allowing Acceptable Ads (enabled by default). >>
Abp is still better then 99% adblocker that are majorly ub0 or abp rebranding + malware, but ub0 is the actual state of the art.
With google sunsetting mv2 extensions, on chromium based browser the best solution is ublock0-lite thats fully declarative and mv3 compliant, but needs to renounce to most advanced feature of ublock0. Ublock0-lite just block ads, basically.
Its all well documented here https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions-(FAQ)
