Then HTTPSB is not the right extension for you.
- nikolak 12y agoThen it should not be compared to adblock.
- pritambaral 12y agoThat is not what is happening in the post. Only the filtering/element-hiding capabilities of both are being compared.
- Karunamon 12y agoThat is exactly what is happening in the headline, however.
- josefresco 12y agoI don't follow this logic. Both do generally the same thing, but with different approaches. This to me would make a comparison of the two different approaches very valid.
- TheLoneWolfling 12y agoYou are calling HTTPSB an alternative for Adblock Plus. One of the major use cases of Adblock Plus is effectively "Fire and Forget" mode - enable it and then don't worry about it. You are saying HTTPSB does not support this use case. As such, I don't see why you can call it an alternative to Adblock Plus.

- Justsignedup 12y agoIt is an alternative. to all of like 1000 people worldwide who are willing to figure it out. So basically fire-and-forget mode, or broke.
- pessimizer 12y agoThat's like saying that walking isn't an alternative to driving because there's no wheels. It's different, has a superset of functionality, and a different interface. It isn't a fork of ABP.
- Justsignedup 12y agoWalking from New York to California to transport 15 tons of perishable cargo VS driving a truck with a refrigeration unit. Your analogy fails.
- Executor 12y agoYour analogy fails too. I use a manual javascript blocking add-on (noscript) instead of an automatic blacklisting one and its not a deal-breaker. Minor effort required.
- TheLoneWolfling 12y agoIt does not have a superset of functionality. Adblock Plus / Edge has a "Fire and Forget" mode, as I described in my grandparent comment. HTTPSB does not. Hence, HTTPSB's functionality is not a superset of Adblock Plus/Edge's functionality.
