[QUOTE="South Park, post: 958345, member: 73194"] This is true. I did some testing with current 64-bit Chromium, using profiles which were identical except that one had uBO and one had ADG. I found the uBO profile used about the same amount of RAM as no ad blocker at all (about 500 MB with four news sites open), while ADG used about 650 MB of RAM with the same four sites open. ADG was also noticeably sluggish about loading pages, esp. Politico.com. My laptop has a paltry 4 GB of shared RAM, so every bit counts. Considering the small increase in privacy but big performance hit with ADG, I decided to go back to using uBO on Chromium. I speculate that the performance difference lies with ADG's extensive use of regex's in its default lists. [/QUOTE]
