ΜBlock Origin was fastest in Firefox, over a second faster than AdBlock Plus and nearly a second over Ghostery. AdBlock and SuperBlock were both higher on memory and processor usage. Most Chrome ad blockers were able to cut load time by more than half, with ♛lock Origin eeking out a tiny lead over Adguard. The homepage is content rich and displays 4 ads so it’s debatable how much difference an ad blocker will make.

CNET is one of those guilty for starting off the trend of bundling adware wrappers with their software downloads. Ghostery also suffered the same problem as it did in Chrome and got stuck on one of the pieces of Javascript.ĬNET is one of the biggest technology news and review sites around and the subdomain is a huge portal for software downloads. ΜBlock Origin was fastest in Firefox too, and by quite a distance. ♛lock Origin and Ghostery were the best on memory usage. AdBlock Plus was second slowest with ♛lock Origin the fastest by half a second. Ghostery’s load time in Chrome was the slowest and it had issues with some on page Javascript. A pop in ad periodically appears on the homepage, the search pages however, have five ads and taboola sponsored links so we tested one of those. Unsurprisingly Airliners is an aviation website with information and news about aircraft. The Airliners name popped up a few times on the internet as somewhere with a more than reasonable amount of ads. Things improved with an ad blocker where ♛lock Origin was noticeably faster. AdBlock had CPU and memory spikes midway through the test, interestingly all the other AdBlock based addons suffered with the same problem.įirefox didn’t like this page and often displayed 2 header ads on top of each other and was often very sluggish when loading. There was a reasonable time difference between the fastest (♛lock Origin) and the slowest (AdBlock Plus) in Chrome.

We originally intended to test but when it was found that .uk has far more and far bigger ads which can take up an astonishing 3/4 of the browser window, we switched to PC Advisor. PC Advisor is the UK branch of the American online PCWorld magazine. The Firefox CNN load times were quite similar although ♛lock Origin managed a small advantage over µ AdBlock, which had a small lead over the others. Ghostery was also best in memory usage while AdBlock Plus was by far the biggest CPU hog. This is a content rich site and that could affect the time differences between ads and no ads.ĪdBlock Plus is noticeably slower while ♛lock Origin and Ghostery are both a small amount quicker than the rest. CNN.com doesn’t seem too bad, we noticed 4 ads on the home page and promoted stories from outbrain inside the articles. Many articles and reports have highlighted news sites as one of the worst types for advertisements, so a major provider like this should be a good starting point. In general we’ve picked sites that are not too fast to load all content or have a sizable load time difference between showing ads and blocking ads. We chose 10 websites to run the tests on, they have a mixture of themes that an average or tech minded user might visit.
