Try using uBlock Origin on Chrome next time. It's way more efficient than adblock.

Consider using Ublock Origin, lightweight, more honest and well behaving adblocker.

Use Brave, it's Chrome without the cruft, and you probably won't need ublock anymore as it has built-in ad blocking.

Adblock extensions already exist, like uBlock origin

Not uBlock specifically, but there's a robust content blocking system there. AdGuard is a pretty good one!

uBlock Origin + EFF Privacy Badger is a really powerful combo and works fine

Use Brave browser, or Firefox with uBlockOrigin.

Try uBlock Origin. It performs even better than ABP, and hasn't sold out.

i've found just ghostery with the ad blocking lists is just as good at blocking ads, while being faster.

Ublock Origin, AdGuard or Brave gets you the best of both worlds.
