Adblock plus high memory usage & i want an Adblock plus Alternative

(1/5) > >>

Gamezertruth:
Since the past months my machine began to suffer from this Adblock plus add-one and now It affects on Firefox browser alot and even the system goes shutting down in somewhere and the laptop It becomes very hot as the fan is working very hard! So at the moment I have to remove all of the Adblock plus and tab mix plus which the both of them cause a high memory usage like aside here http://www.tweaking.com/forums/index.php/topic,3284.msg23244.html#msg23244

Samson:
No problem here with adblock plus, what makes you think it is eating memory? What filter subscriptions do you have, too many is not a good idea.

As an aside Gamez, you seem to have so many problems (is it one machine in all your threads?).....I would have gone for a clean install ages ago.

This for the simple reason, as I noticed it! So I've made a test (reinstall both add-ones several times on the Firefox browser and suddenly a laptop fan are struggling which it trying to Cooling out the machine but isn’t it with adblock installed) and now the system is goes cool after removed adblock !

Samson:
Have you tried Adblock Plus and Tab Mix Plus separately?

What version of Adblock Plus? Current is 2.6.9.1

How many, and what filter subscriptions do you have?

Boggin:
uBlock is much lighter on resources than Adblock Plus.

Just a question about the clean install - which product key did you use to activate Windows ?
