Advice Request Using uBlock Origin with Poper Blocker. Do you have a better suggestion?

[Arijit_dutta]

I am using UbO and Poper Blocker (PB is not working like it used to do earlier) on Chrome nowadays. Should I reconsider my existing options for something new without much performance drop?

Is Poper Blocker needed with uBlock Origin?
Personally I see no use for it.

It's important to note, that Poper Blocker only sends data back to the developer, if the following is checked.

I never heard about "Poper Blocker". I guess it block PopUps ?
Then, this isn't needed with uBlock Origin

-Click on the uBlock icon

-You should see some icons on the bottom right

-The first one is for blocking all pop-ups on a site

Yeah, this is slightly funny.

In American English, "Popper Blocker" might block popups.

While "Poper Blocker" might block --- The Pope.

And it's just not necessary to block The Pope.... as he's not trying to get into your machine.

It might also have another meaning, which includes a very uncomfortable bodily feeling ...

@Arijit_dutta Have a look at the Smartadblock extension it is open source (Link to website SmartAdBlock)

It combines the functionality of AdblockPlus and ProperBlocker. You can also add custom filters as long as that filter is in adBlockPlus format and contains the [Adblock Plus 9.9] header (where 9.9 is version number of the ABP-rules used, like 1.1 or 2.0 or 3.5). You can also add user rules, only you can't import-export them or copy-paste multiple lines like in uBlockOrigin and AdGuard.

They ironed out most bugs and web-breakage and released version 1.1.5 a month ago. Google likes to keep them hanging out to dry, because SmartAdBlock is pretty effective. Adblock or AdblockPlus also tried to scare them out of business because the name of the extensions contains adblock.

Worth a try IMO
