  1. Ok Cederic: A fair challenge... apk by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1 · on Google, Amazon, Microsoft Reportedly Paid AdBlock Plus To Unblock

    Can ghostery/adblock do 17 things hosts do for speed, security, & reliability:

    1.) Protect vs. malicious sites/servers (beyond malicious ads: See 2-10 next)
    2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop communication to C&C servers

    11.) Protect vs. bandwidth caps
    12.) Get you past a dnsbl
    13.) Keep you off dns request logs
    14.) Speed up websurfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
    15.) Work on ANY webbound app (think stand-alone email programs) multiplatform.

    P.S.=> ANSWER ="NO" to each above on Ghostery/AdBlock doing it as well or at all!

    BOTH do far less than hosts do & less efficiently - hosts by way of comparison, do MORE w/ less:

    AdBlock's 4++gb & 100% CPU usage flooring inefficiency -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... + ClarityRay defeats it + it 'souled-out' & is crippled by default paid off to not do its job http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/...

    Ghostery's Advertiser owned - "A fox guards the henhouse"-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...

    Both add complexity/room for breakdown/exploit + from a slower mode of operations (usermode = more messagepassing overheads vs. hosts in kernelmode).

    Hosts start w/ the IP stack before REDUNDANT inefficient addons BEGIN to operate (as 1st resolver queried).

  23. Adblock = inferior crap vs. hosts by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1 · on Google, Amazon, Microsoft Reportedly Paid AdBlock Plus To Unblock
