Скачать или смотреть Adblock Plus vs µBlock

Top: ABP 1.8.3.
Bottom: µBlock 0.1.3.

Test case: www.si.com (Sports Illustrated)

Chromium 34 on Linux Mint 64.

ABP: EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Fanboy's Social Blocking List, Malware Domains

µBlock: EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Fanboy's Annoyance List, Fanboy's Enhanced Tracking List, Malware Domains lists (3), Peter Lowe's Ad server list, hpHosts's Ad and tracking servers

The site was loaded once before the capture, so the extensions went through the same workload (cache etc.), which in the case of ABP is an advantage because it uses a cache mechanism to avoid testing filters. I used the state of the icon in the tab to synchronize the start of both videos.

The same test has been repeated three times in the video for convenience. It's not a fluke, you can reproduce it easily. I used Sports Illustrated site after doing some benchmarks with µBlock in order to find portion of code which needs attention performance-wise, as the site is quite demanding for a blocker.

Note that µBlock had to deal with over 20,000 extra filters, as I am using Peter Lowe's and hpHosts' ad and tracking servers hosts files.
