Adguard - protection #1 in 2019:
Blocking ads on the Internet is a necessity to combat arbitrariness dubious sites. If you are interested in this topic, then it’s not about advertising, but about the sites that you visit. Because the advertisement itself does not pose a threat or challenge to perception. On the contrary, she often gives " the same answer"or is part of the design. So let's deal with the problem.
- : AdBlock, Adblock Plus Adgruard
How to visit dubious sites?
In fact, it all depends on how often we visit dubious sites. Statistics show that we mostly surf on social networks, read the news feed and other completely normal sites where there is no aggressive advertising.
It's a different matter when it comes to visiting entertaining, gaming or site for adults. Here it is advisable to install one of the proven browser extensions for blocking ads:
- AdBlock — best option for the Google Chrome browser, since it was originally created specifically for this browser. AdBlock official website: getadblock.com
- Adblock Plus- originally created for Mozilla Firefox, but was so good that it spread to other browsers. AdBlock Plus official website: adblockplus.org
- Adguard— a newcomer to the ad blocker market with an emphasis on monetization through the offer paid version. However, the free one is also enough to solve the main problem. Official website: adguard.com
Note: Many Chromium-based browsers already have a file adblock.ini, which allows you to specify the necessary filtering rules and not install any extensions.
But are these assistants as good as they might seem at first glance? Yes, they really block ads, dubious scripts, etc., but they are unable to completely eliminate human factor. My advice is to pay attention to .
How to check security link URL?
Solves the problem of unsafe links free online service" !" Unlike others, it does not easily check the specified URL, but also follows it to the end point of the link redirect. So this is very relevant for “ short links", generated through: bit.ly, goo.gl, etc.
Checking the site for phishing, malware And adult— produced using the databases of Google and Yandex security services. You only get the result that will allow you to make the right decision.
Ad blocker load: AdBlock, Adblock Plus Adgruard
Let's look at a more practical reason do not use extensions or programs for ad blocking, namely - the load they create on the computer.
The fact is that all these decisions, like any other running programs, constantly " hanging"in the computer's memory. They are not so large, but they also create a load.
When visiting a website page, the extension (program) accesses the database with ad filtering rules, blocks ads and, only then, transmits the result to the browser, which creates “ delay" in his work.
But that’s half the trouble! Ad blockers consume memory and other computer resources. As a demonstration of this problems, I will provide “task manager” data for three popular ad blocking extensions in Google browser Chrome:
| Parameter | AdBlock | Adblock Plus | Adguard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memory | 141 372K | 88 364K | 44 368K |
| JavaScript memory | 111,933KB | 70 596KB | 20 132KB |
| Image cache | 16.4KB | 336KB | 108KB |
| Script cache | 0 | 31.2Kb | 0 |
| CSS cache | 0 | 18.7Kb | 0 |
Note: data obtained under equal conditions - 1 browser tab is open.
Each solution has its pros and cons:
- AdBlock- fast, but consumes a lot of memory.
- Adblock Plus- moderate, but actively uses the browser cache.
- Adguard- looks the most sane, but this free version with reduced capabilities.
Note: each open tab consumes additional computer resources. And this “consumption” is growing in geometric progression, up to " falls» (stop working) browser.
My personal experience of blocking unwanted ads
- Google Chrome- assigned by browser default, without any extensions or other frills. I use it for work and surfing normal sites.
- Mozilla Firefox- auxiliary browser with installed extension Adblock Plus and some other protection tools. I use it for visiting dubious sites.
Note: Firefox has one very useful feature — « Go to Reading View" She becomes active on content pages and allows you to read them without any impurities, in a “pure” form.
"Switch to Reading View" feature in Mozilla Firefox Note: the only thing I don’t consider excessive is antivirus. It may be free and simple, but it should be there. Personally I prefer avast! free—, it consumes few resources and protects against most unpleasant moments.
