Hi again guys. A new war :P. I can't decide between these two adblockers for Chrome.

- Adblock:

- Adblock Plus:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-plus/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb?hl=es


It seems that Adblock is developed originally for Chrome, and Adblock Plus had more problems for adapt it (it comes from Firefox version and it was beta until few months)

Coz i surfed many websites a day which are in german, chinese & other languages. Adblock can't block all of them ads but after adding different language filers, now it blocks more then before :D But i don't feel slowdown in web browsing though ;)

Did you try the adblock chrome extension by Adguard.com? I think it doesn't need to install different language filters as it offers an all-inclusive feature as detailed on its website:

Yes, you are right at your place, but there is a well-known saying that relates, "Availing a Free or Cheapest thing makes you cry over and over again, but the costly element makes you cry once only during its purchase." Isn't it? I've downloaded the Adguard addon and it is giving me 4 options:

1. block ads
2. Submit a complaint
3. Web security report
4. Adguard setting

Regarding the adblock plus, I have received so many complaints and have read a lot about it. So, i think I should better go for the premium version of Adguard - Adblock;which is gonna make me cry once during it's $29.99 or so purchase. What do you think?

Yes, you're absolutely right as every new adblock chrome extention needs configuration, but default settings of adblock - adguard are also awesome as I experienced so far. Interestingly, its adblock extension for chrome is also available for free and is easily accessible through its official site.

Trying now Adblock Plus vs Adblock. Similar performance... Don't consider Adguard because has an installer and no daily updates in free license.

Edit: change now my opinion. Back to Adblock because ABP + slow down browsing. ABP + works far better in Firefox, but in Chrome i prefer Adblock

Sorry... I mean it not has daily updates (sorry for the inconvenience)

Edit: testing Adguard. Nice interface, light resources, but it's not a plugin. You have to install as an application. I set Adguard and visited some webs... but is far from the effectiveness of Adblock (not blocks many ads), even in not "dangerous" sites.
