There was a Firefox version released briefly but that was pulled from the Firefox add on pages for unknown reasons. – The most popular ad blocker for Chrome with reportedly over 200 million downloads. Here are the ones we are testing for both browsers.
There are many more ad blockers available in Chrome than in Firefox which is the reverse of what we expected. To see what they do when when loading a web page, we’ve decided to put a number of ad blockers to the test. This test is about the performance of an ad blocker in terms of how quickly it loads a range of ad blocked pages, the maximum amount of memory it uses and how much stress it puts on the CPU.
There’s several ad blocking extensions available for Chrome and Firefox, and some work better than others.

Staff, hardware, fast servers, fast CDNs and the like are not free and need to be paid for.īut we cannot get away from the fact an ad blocker is probably the number one add-on for browsers like Chrome and Firefox, and will continue to be so for some time yet. Besides removing the adverts, ad blockers also save bandwidth by cutting down the amount of content a page loads, they can also help with your privacy by blocking scripts that track your browsing habits. It’s no secret the vast majority of websites on the internet need to use ads to help pay for running costs. Blanket use of ad blockers will hurt those sites just as much as the bad sites you feel have gone overboard with their ads. On the other side, there are sites that try to inconvenience you as little as possible and be sensible with the amount of ads displayed and their placement.
Many sites out there bombard you with tons of ads, and quite often you will feel that you have no choice but to use an ad blocker because either the ads slow down the site loading too much, or they are incredibly annoying and get in the way or distract from your browsing. Blocking website adverts in web browsers has been a hot topic in recent years and there are merits to both sides of the argument.
