Added CPU overhead to each net requestĪBP and uBO need to evaluate the URL of each net request against their dictionary of filters and tell the waiting browser to cancel it or not. (This is an important step, or else the shown memory footprint is not too reliable.) ABPīoth extensions had EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Peter Lowe's Ad Server list, and malware protection (there are more filters in uBO for this last one). Once benchmarking was complete, I forced the browser to garbage collect the memory in each extension by clicking the trash icon (in the dev console) a couple of times. These screenshots show the memory footprint of Adblock Plus (ABP) and uBlock Origin (uBO) after they have gone through this demanding benchmark. Benchmarks were performed on Linux Mint 64-bit using Chromium. Each extension was tested alone, with no other extensions enabled.

Here is a quick illustrated comparison of efficiency using various angles. Read carefully if using uBO/webext on legacy Firefox.The removed element reappears when you reload the page.
