Adblock wasn't made by some shady company and I've never seen an ad since I've installed Adblock, so saying Adblock allows some ads is just stupid.
If you think this "ublock" is better, provide an actual reason, not a bunch of bologna. |

let me guess, it's boogie's sob story isn't it. video makers do this to make us feel bad so they can get more ad revenue, they're not starving homeless people or else they'd be out trying to find a job and not be making youtube let's-plays all day |

| I'm using AdBlock, not ABP. I've never noticed any slow-down from it, maybe it's because I have a decent computer. Maybe I'd try uBlock if I was using an older computer. But I'm not. |

| no, even when running a newer computer, adblock still slows it down more than ublock |

Doesn't matter. Chrome notifies you of not only updates to your extensions but also requires you to confirm new security updates. Plus, anyone can read the source-code, so if it was trying to steal our personal info, we'd all know it.
And I don't know why you linked the same thing twice with different links. |

Again, I've never seen this. My pages practically instantly. If there's a 0.0000001s difference I'm missing, I don't really care for it.

Just installed uBlock for testing.
No difference.

| uBlock Origin is just a fork of uBlock. |

| my adblock logo is a red stop sign with ABP on it which I assume is Adblockplus. I may move to ublock origin, not sure yet. |

| Okay, so while Adblock Plus is only allowed to read history and read and change data on sites, uBlock origin can do the same AND change privacy settings. Is this significant? What does it need that for? |
