It's better than nothing for the non-expert users who don't know it's worse than other options available right now. Pretty much the only worthy use case for it

You're asking what the point in developing alternatives are?
Microsoft said the web was done at Internet Explorer 6.
It looks like it was also rewritten for webextensions from that blog post.

#5Adblock Plus sold out a long time ago by taking money from big players to let their ads through. I've been using uBlock Origin for a while and haven't looked back. Plus it's way faster and less buggy.

#6Most tech people now seem to use uBlock Origin. But I use uMatrix (from the same developer) and I am super happy with it. It took me a minute or so to understand the interface. But then it is super intuitive and exactly the way I would have designed it myself.
Since I only allow the hosts that I need, I almost never see advertising. And the web is blazingly fast.

But AB isn't an alternative with pros and cons so much as it's a worse version of uBO.

Not a thing! It's all you need.

Has it got an easy way to unblock elements? Going through the every request in the logger using uBlock is pretty tedious.

#10Who is even using this anymore? ABP lost all its cred when it took money from ad business.
Just use uBlock Origin.
