Installed and enabled the extensions I have written

• Download Sentinel : Download Sentinel - Chrome Web Store
• 3P-Matrix-lite: 3P-Matrix-lite - Chrome Web Store
• uBol-stripped: uBol-stripped - Chrome Web Store

All are open source: Kees1958 - Overview

Brave:

1. uBlock Origin

3. API Void Script Stop

Firefox:

1. uBlock Origin
2. API Void Script Stop

Only uBlock Origin slows down the Speedometer 3.1 test by 3–5%.

I have installed the "Adaptive Tab Bar Color" extension on my Firefox browser, and I adore how it changes the entire theme according to the page. Here are some sample pages:

Brave:

1. uBlock Origin

3. API Void Script Stop

Firefox:

1. uBlock Origin
2. API Void Script Stop

Only uBlock Origin slows down the Speedometer 3.1 test by 3–5%.

Can you do the same test for API Void Script Stop Vs 3P-Matrix-lite & uBlock Origin Lite Vs uBlock Stripped
on default settings?
Curious to see which one slows down Speedometer

With the new Worry-free safe surfing mode in uBlock Stripped you don't need 3P-matrix-lite any more

For these extensions:

• uBlock Origin Lite vs. uBlock Stripped

If I had to bet, I’d say uBlock Origin Lite is the heavier extension.
But I don’t use either extension, so this is just a guess.

For these extensions:

• API Void Script Stop vs. 3P-Matrix-lite

I really don’t know.
You should ask @LinuxFan58 the same test question.

I have no personal interest in using an extension other than the one I already use, since it offers less dynamic filtering than the one I prefer to use.
Sorry.

uBO-Lite cheats a little. When you run the test woth uBOL-filters enabled the block counter blocks like crazy.

With UBO-filters disabled uBO-lite scores on my laptop 20.2 as does AG Mv3 as does uBS in default (see pictures below)

uBlock Stripped with below extra protections enabled in Worry-free mode (also tries to auto-deny cookie consents) scores 20.1
(which is logical considering the extra things it does)

 

[LinuxFan58]

When you compare these extensions on performance (on speed they are all equal) and memory usage (uBOL is best, uBS is a close second and AG Mv3 is third on a distance), you have to take into account what functionality they are offering.

Core adblock functionality

• AdGuard Mv3 - offers 99,9% of the filtering functonality of Mv2 AdGuard also offered to ALL users.
• uBO-Lite - currently offers a subset (although it gradually becomes a full flectched adblocker with scriptlets, cosmetic and procedural filters in UBO-filters) to ALL users.
• uBS - offers nearly everything AG Mv3 offers (except scriptlets requiring trust or scriptlets with parameters which could be abused) and no popup/popunder
  (but it offers ¨alert, confirm, prompt protection against techncal support scams" as an alternative for popup/popunder) but ONLY to 5Eyes & EU+zone users
  
  So in adblock function depth and user width AG Mv3 wins all, uBOL is third in function depth but ex-eaquo first in user width and uBS is second in adblock function depth and third in user width (only for 5Eyes and EU+), but uBS offers below extras:
  - Worry-free safe surfing with really a lot of extra security protections an annoyance prevention (like Ghostery tries to deny cookie consent prompts has anti-adblock and anti-admiral enabled by default).
  - Powertools: Coockie consent clicker (like Consent-O-matic), Dynamic DNR filtering (like uBO-Mv2 dynamic filtering), Privacy Inspector (like JShelter)

 

[Sampei.Nihira]

AG MV3 likely offers 99.8% of the features provided by uBo.
For example, in the syntax of adGuard rules,including MV2,there is no scriptlet feature identical to “Nostif” in uBo.

Furthermore, ad-Flickers must also be taken into account.
AG MV3 is the heaviest extension; at least on less powerful PCs (like mine), it causes significant ad-Flickering, especially when using hidden filtering via custom rules.

UBlock Stripped - Dynamic Filtering, when compared to a set of MV3 extensions, is the one that performs best in terms of ad-Flickering.

Users of Brave + AdShield-Extra-Power-Tools fare even better.
In this case, ad-Flickers are reduced to 0 because Brave AdShields does not have the limitations of the MV3 extensions.
When using UBlock Stripped - Dynamic Filtering, to put it mathematically, it approaches,depending on the case,the limit of 0.

 

[LinuxFan58]

Okay I stand corrected 99,8% (but realize that you are not the average user )

[BSONE]

I use Chrome 99% of the time out of habit and muscle memory.
The following I keep on all the time:
Ghostery
Proton Pass
Floccus

I also have the following extensions which I tend to keep on most of the time:
Windscribe (Just the extension active. I don't use a VPN for most of my browsing)
McAfee WebAdvisor OR Bitdefender TrafficLight

ungoogled chromium :
Ublock Stripped
3P-Matrix-Lite

 

[ghostkernel]

Zero as I have no need and minimizes the attack surface.
