AdBlock Plus Updates Acceptable Ads Policy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Sunday December 20, 2015 @03:40AM from the red-light-green-light dept.

AmiMoJo writes: By default the popular AdBlock Plus plug-in allows some "acceptable" ads to be displayed. A blog post announcing updates to policy describes the goals of the update: easier to understand, more robust and more explicit about what is and isn't acceptable. The new criteria are listed on another page, and the option to disable acceptable ads remains.

uBlock Origin by edibobb · 2015-12-20 04:00 · Score: 5, Informative

uBlock Origin is roughly 12 times better than Adblock Plus. It's significantly faster, has less overhead, has a better user interface, and does not whitelist ad sites.
