You should consider the ramifications of this very carefully. Once again, I'd like to point out that browser extensions often require the ability to read and/or change everything on the web pages you visit. Additionally, that article received a ton of feedback that has been taken into account for this update. Since that article was published, one extension I recommended (Xmarks) has been discontinued. In the first article, I asked readers: "Which extensions should you install?" To reiterate, that decision largely comes down to how you use your browser, your views on privacy, how much you trust extension developers, and other personal preferences. Extensions for Firefox are built using the WebExtensions API, a cross-browser development system. Modern browsers have evolved into powerful and extensible platforms, and extensions can add or modify their functionality.
Welcome to the communityĪs I mentioned in my original article on Firefox extensions, the web browser has become a critical component of the computing experience for many users. It’s not clear whether they are actively working with any other adblockers than Adblock Plus, so the independence of the committee is debatable. They’ve even created an independent committee called Acceptable Ads. AdBlock Plus ( Chrome, Firefox ) BrowserĪdBlock Plus also subscribes to the fair-play ads philosophy. Overall Score = (Review Factor + Test Average)/2Ħ. Calculate the Overall Score out of 100. Empty the browser cache and restart the browser to make sure it’s like new before performing steps 2 through 7 on the next adblocker to be tested. Test Average = (CanYouBlockIt Extreme Avg + Adblock Tester Avg)/2 Install a single adblocker with its default settings. Do a clean install of Chrome and Firefox. The following is our testing methodology: Review Factor = ((Reviews / Downloads) x Average Star Rating) x 100Īfter the top 6, the Review Factor dropped off sharply, so it wouldn’t be helpful to you to include anything beyond that. This was done to remove the bandwagon effect of people selecting the most downloaded adblocker that has a good star rating. The highest Review Factor possible is 100. 
Then we used our Review Factor formula to show us which adblockers were arguably the best.
