Advice Request Which is better - Nano AdBlocker or uBlock Origin?

[Wraith]

Which will be better for Chrome? Members here seem to be fan of uBo. Is it better than Nano AdBlocker?

 

[thrillskr]

UBlock + Nano defenderlist filterlist

 

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

I prefer the original: uBlock Origin. I'm not sure I trust another developer who modifies uBlock into almost the same thing.

 

[Handsome Recluse]

Nano AdBlocker has some improvements.

 

[oldschool]

Nano Adblocker works better out of the box if you use Medium Mode. Otherwise, you can accomplish the same in uBO with some Nano filters, but you may need a bit more rule-making in Med. mode. It's 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other.

I can't say I agree with @Gandalf_The_Grey (and I rarely disagree with the wise Wizard!) on the trust issue. On Chrome/Chromium-based, both are great. There is no Nano for Firefox. Development is slow for both these apps on Edge. The only issues I have personal experience of with either extension are on Edge 1809 - ubo is broken, Nano is partly broken. When functioning, I prefer Nano in Edge.

I didn't want to mention it because I can't find the website anymore.... see spoiler ,but sadly no proof... :emoji_disappointed: For me I won't be using Nano anymore.
uBlock Origin or AdGuard are both fine and for the moment AdGuard works better on Edge, because uBlock on Edge is an ill maintained fork.
But when chromium based Edge arrives it could be that the original uBlock Origin can be used on it.

Spoiler: No proof, but how I feel about it.

He cheated by adding a code so that a website showed Nano superior to uBlock and AdGuard in being not detected as using an adblocker.
He was rude to Ramon Hill (creator of uBlock) and he is not very helpful when you have issues.
IMO he is just a spoiled brat using another mans work.

I was not aware of this. Thanks!

It was on one of the comparison threads here, but I can't find it unfortunately... :emoji_disappointed:

I have used Nano Adblocker ever since. Works out of the box with Nano Defender. Some design decisions and default lists make more sense to me.

 

[CyberTech]

There is no Nano for Firefox.

Wait what? Nano Defender?? there is for FF

 

[Moonhorse]

Currently using nano adblocker + nano defender in firefox

I prefer nano adblocker over ublock origin, so i dont have to do any tweaking on UBO to get it work with Nano defender, that i end up using anyways

 

[oldschool]

Well, I see there is NA by yet another developer for FF. I still prefer Nano Integration filter in uBO. After a while it becomes too difficult to stay on top of these other forks, with updating, etc.

I assume you are talking about my inquiry over at Wilders.

µBlock, a lean and fast blocker

Not that I have experience with this particular problem LOL... but try using the element picker to subdue those naughty girls :D Yes, element picker...

www.wilderssecurity.com

Some might consider it bad to have filter specifically for browserleaks, others might not. Personally, I would go with uBlock Origin out of those two.

From what I remember, the development of Nano over at Edge is in halt until Microsoft switches over to Chromium. And uBlock over there is not being actively develop either way.

 

[Ink]

None of the above.

For ease of use:

• Adguard Adblocker
• TunnelBear Adblocker
• Adblock Plus

Screenshot taken on Firefox, but are more or less the same for Chrome users.

Nano AdBlocker:


Adguard AdBlocker:

@Azure Yes, that's the post I was looking for. Looked in the wrong forum

uBlock Origin

 

[South Park]

On Chromium, I found that Nano Adblock + Nano Defender defended better against certain anti-adblockers. On Firefox, I have used uBO for years and find it excellent, so I wouldn't switch.

 

[vaccineboy]

I prefer AdGuard. But between uBo & Nano --> Nano.

 

[Moonhorse]

Lately ive noticed that ublock origin alone or either with nano defender couldnt pass this test anymore

Any ideas how to pass(?), since nano defender had the site blacklisted to pass the test before

@Windows_Security sorry for tagging you, but youre the expert here
