Is it even possible to test and compare results for this?Do you feel browsing snappiness is faster when using AdGuard or uBlock origin?
perhaps based on "feeling" of snappiness from the moment you click on a link to the time it starts loading to the time it fully loadsIs it even possible to test and compare results for this?
Most will vote for their favorite Ad-blocker.
The problem of subjectively judging anything is that if you don't like it from the start or even think you shouldn't like it, because you don't like the company making it, for instance, there is a great chance you'll judge against it. If objective measuring says the difference is in the milliseconds range, then it doesn't have any practical difference you can feel.perhaps based on "feeling" of snappiness from the moment you click on a link to the time it starts loading to the time it fully loads

One advantage I found in Adguard vs uBlock is that it does a better job at preventing annoying popups for newsletter subscriptions.uBlock seems lighter, but adguard is more polished, so it really depends on user's settings, like cosmetic filtering, etc.

Another point I completely forgot to mention in my post is that a difference measured in milliseconds may have many other sources other than the adblocker being tested, from simple internet speed fluctuations to the computer just happening to be devoting a little more processor power to some other background tasks the moment the test was made. So single point test is pointless... You could test it on thousands of web sites with all kinds of content and there would still be a significant error factor due to external reasons.
can you post a screenshot of your filters please?
I don't get them either with uBlock.
No “Subscribe” popup window when scrolling to the end of the webpage with Cookies Managed by DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser. If disabled, then it appears.

Example, try visiting: Downloads | AIDA64
with uBlock I get a popup to subscribe to their newsletter but not with AdGuard
I don't get the popup. Make sure you subscribe the exact same filters in ublock as adguard or it will be unfair to compareOne advantage I found in Adguard vs uBlock is that it does a better job at preventing annoying popups for newsletter subscriptions.

Best answer! Switching from AdGuard to uBlock Originublock works faster for me
I tried both with exact same filters. ublock is compatible with all filters while adguard misreads some filters and makes some websites break
speed:
adguard: sometimes, I saw ad banners and after 0.5 second, they disappeared.
Ublock: This never happens on my laptop -> element hiding/cosmetic filtering of ublock works faster
