So, replacing uBlock Origin with a simple ad blocker was not our mission. We wanted something as good as or as close to as good as uBlock Origin as possible. So, over the past few weeks, we&#8217;ve been testing various ad-blocking extensions and we made our choice. Our choice is AdGuard AdBlocker (MV3) Beta.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Before we continue, we want to remind you that if you&#8217;re using Microsoft Edge, Firefox, or any browser other than Chrome we recommend that you keep using uBlock Origin. It&#8217;s still the best, it just doesn&#8217;t work (or won&#8217;t work soon) in Google Chrome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">uBlock Origin has been our recommended ad blocker for Chrome for many years. Its performance, efficiency, and customization made it our #1 choice. However, with the introduction of Manifest Version 3 (MV3) for Chrome extensions, we needed to explore alternative options so we could recommend high-quality ad-blocking and privacy protection that would work in Chrome<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">AdGuard AdBlocker (MV3 Beta) is our choice.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">AdGuard AdBlocker, in its MV3 Beta version, is our choice to replace uBlock Origin in Google Chrome. Here&#8217;s why&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">AdGuard AdBlocker takes advantage of the capabilities of MV3 and offers improved performance. This means faster page loading times and reduced system resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">AdGuard effectively blocks a wide range of ads, including banners, pop-ups, video ads, and tracking scripts. It also features advanced filtering options for granular control over what you see.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">AdGuard &#8211; like uBlock Origin &#8211; goes beyond ad blocking by protecting your privacy. It blocks trackers, prevents fingerprinting, and safeguards your browsing data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The AdGuard interface is intuitive and easy to navigate for users of all levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Active Development: AdGuard is actively developed and maintained, ensuring that it stays up-to-date with the latest web technologies and ad-blocking techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The transition from uBlock Origin to AdGuard AdBlocker was relatively seamless. While there might be a slight learning curve as you adjust to AdGuard&#8217;s settings and features, the overall experience is similar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Remember to remove uBlock Origin before you install AdGuard (MV3 Beta). To do so, type <strong>chrome:\/\/extensions\/<\/strong> in the Chrome address bar, then press Enter. Find uBlock Origin in the list of installed extensions and click the remove button under it.
