Very true, especially when compared to ABP. There's the 2.0 beta available on their site which is said to use less resources than the 1.x builds.

just tried v2.01 beta for chrome, reduced ram usage from 96mb to 85mb. I have around 25 tabs open btw. They have open sourced the extension too which is cool, ublock is open source too. Hopefully both dev teams will copy the best code from each other and make both extensions even better.

I don't really like Adguard, it uses a lot of CPU and doesn't block as much.

Report such issues, regardless of which extension is used.

 

Speaking of extensions, I find LastPass works a lot better in Nightly with e10s enabled without many lock-ups, freezes and slow page loading issues these days. But this issue still remains.

Sure, but I would preferably use the one with the lowest footprint.

For those who are in between "ublock" vs "Adblock Plus", should try this magical preference:

privacy.trackingprotection.enabled

Turn it ON and see the difference:

Why not uBlock, Ghostery and privacy.trackingprotection.enabled = True ? :D

Focus should be performance without compromise in memory, CPU usage and amazing ad free experience, when it can be achieved with single preference then why should go with other two to increase memory usage, CPU consumption and not to mention CO2 emission (last part is joke BTW)...

 

I am happy with this preference.

But that preference just block cookies right?

Does uBlock not also block all the same things as Ghostery? I've never used Ghostery so maybe I'm not understanding exactly what it does.

Ghostery is rogue software that reports your activities using GhostRank to the same third parties you are trying to block. Supposedly it blocks tracking. uBlock fulfills Ghostery's purpose nearly completely, if you enable the privacy filters, and RequestPolicy might fill in the remaining gaps.

You can disable Ghostrank :rofl:

There were some fixes for desktop APZ landed in the latest nightly, so I'm playing with that enabled and Silk, man it's nice.

There are some downsides though, pages that would cause Firefox to "jank" while scrolling, now scroll smoothly, but now don't render anything while scrolling because the content process is falling behind. It's not that different to Chrome/Safari, but man it doesn't look nice.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
