I may have commented this a few weeks ago on another thread, but on Chromium Browsers I found no difference in speed between uBO & Adguard. Adguard used to be slower before version 4 but at the moment both performs exactlty the same in terms of web page loading. uBO is still lighter in CPU & Ram usage.
On Firefox, I found uBO to be faster. I measured via the dev tools of browser.
I use Adguard in Chrome because its Annoyance filter works better with it. Once uBO start supporting all sciptlets I might switch to uBO again.

The optimized versions are made by Adguard based on ad filters usage statistics they collected. The objective was to optimize existing filters and clean up redundant rules.
The result is (at least to me) a clean set of rules, with almost no errors. According to Adguard, “optimized” filters memory usage is almost 40% lower than regular filters. Less is more! I don't like to use too many filters.
These are the URLs you need if you want to try some of the most important optimized filters:

It may have been mentioned here previously, but AV browser extensions would be the bigger culprit of browsing speed, than adguard, uBlock. And as others have posted, it may not make that much of a difference between the two, but maybe also with the browser, search engine used?

+1 My vote goes to uBlock Origin, Adguard's annoyance rules outperform uBlock Origin, in terms of comparative speed between Adguard and uBlock on my computer they are unnoticeable. More for simplicity and for consuming less CPU and less ram memory I will stick with uBlock Origin. 
I tested Adguard and the subscription popup was there. So staying with uBlock Origin.
Is that what you are saying about the newsletter? Yes the uBlock Origin blocks everything up to the cookies consent, I've never seen that, I had to literally turn everything off, even my DNS because it didn't show that pop-up.
It's a matter of choosing the right filter list, regardless of your ad/tracker blocking extension. For instance:
Edit: I just experienced that this list doesn't block the popup on the AIDA64 site. Fanboy's Annoyances optimized does.

Trying out the optimized filters for AG base and tracking to see if any benefit in a small reduction in the total number of filters. They appear to work OK as am not seeing ads and the AG logger is showing the blocks, but the stats (total since install) shows zero trackers blocked.
Am guessing just a small bug in AG?
