  1. AdBlock = Slower, Inferior + 'Souled-Out' by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Adblock Plus Victorious Again In Court

    Can adblock do 16 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
    3.) Protect vs. dynamic dns botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
    4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
    5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (adds reliability)
    6.) Protect vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns
    7.) Protect vs. trackers
    8.) Protect vs. spam
    9.) Protect vs. phishing
    10.) Protect vs. bandwidth caps
    11.) Get you past a dnsbl
    12.) Keep you off dns request logs
    13.) Speed up websurfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
    14.) Work on ANY webbound app (think stand-alone email programs) multiplatform.
    15.) Give you easily texteditor controlled data for the above
    16.) Do all that & block ads (better than addons) more efficiently in cpu cycles + memory usage

    * ANSWER ="NO" to each above on AdBlock doing it as well or at all!

    APK

    P.S.=> AdBlock does FAR less than hosts do & FAR less efficiently - hosts do MORE w/ less + Hosts start w/ the IP stack before REDUNDANT inefficient addons BEGIN to operate (as 1st resolver queried):

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

    Can adblock & its variants do 16 things hosts do for speed, security, & reliability:

    1.) Protect vs. malicious sites/servers (beyond malicious ads)
    2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop communique to C&C servers

    4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop communique to C&C servers

    7.) Protect vs. trackers
    8.) Protect vs. spam

  49. Re:Or they're just proxying their connections by Jack+Griffin · · Score: 1 · on Canadian Piracy Rates Plummet As Industry Points To New Copyright Notice System

    As to facebook, it is losing interest not gaining it.

    I Disagree
    I know a lot of people giving up on FB personally, and my kids seemed to have bypassed it altogether (Instagram is the big thing for teens here), but they are still growing somewhere.

    So the over all trend is strongly towards things opening up more because every person in their own context is getting MORE access.

    I have a mixed opinion of this. On one hand I agree, things are opening up, but at the same time, large swathes of the population are addicted to the Murdoch/Zuckerberg myopic view on the world. It is possible that the universe is expanding in both directions at once.
