  1. Am I a Lemming for Using Adblock Plus Instead of uBlock Origin?


    I have read too many times to count that I am an idiot for continuing to use "Adblock Plus Instead of uBlock Origin" that I am beginning to believe it : ) I am assuming that the two do not play nice with one another. Adblock Plus seems to work good enough and I never have to dick around with it. I am fearful if I change up there will be a learning curve and that it will mess up my no hassle browsing habits. Is the general consensus that uBlock Origin is the way to go? TIA. Up to date Chrome browser 95% of the time.

    :)

  2. Adblock Plus.

    Hi Ruth,

    We understand that you want to uninstall your AdBlock Plus. Here's how:

    • Open your Control Panel. You can search for it using your
      Cortana
      .
    • Choose the Large icons option from the View by drop down list found on the upper-right part of the Control Panel window.
    • Locate then select Programs and Features.
    • Find and click the AdBlock Plus, then select Uninstall/Change
      that will appear beside the Organize drop down button.

    Or you may also refer
    here
    for the steps and other information in uninstalling a program or an app.

    Let us know what happens next.

    Regards.

    Youtube can disable your adblock it seems.

    It seemed to me that the Adblock's all versions such as Adblock ,Adblock +, and the likes sold out to Corporations to allow certain ads and that is why I switched to Ublock Origin and have not had any ads I use FF.

    Am I a Lemming for Using Adblock Plus Instead of uBlock Origin?

    Youtube can disable your adblock it seems.

    This is beginning to sound like ublock origin is worth trying. I'm currently on Adblock Plus.
