So far the author has been posting proposals that were supposed to fix all that is wrong with Adblock Plus but always failed to consider some scenarios. These proposals also had a clear tendency to trade performance for memory use. It seems that he gave up taking to the stupid Adblock Plus developers and rolled his own. + +This has been a pattern with Wladimir Palant with regard to my work. [Outright misrepresentation](https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard/wiki/Adblock-Plus-memory-consumption), or criticism through vague statements while never specific enough to understand what part of the code he is referring to. + +For the record, nowhere in the code did I trade "performance for memory use", both memory use and CPU use have always been of highest concern. Given that my [benchmarks](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/%C2%B5Block-vs.-ABP:-efficiency-compared) show µBlock does significantly better than ABP on both memory and CPU count, vaguely stating that "clear tendency to trade performance for memory use" is just plain nonsense. + +I did ask him to be specific about his statement regarding how I implemented element hiding without injecting gigantic CSS stylesheet in every page and frame, but never received a response, and it is understandable why: he was [misrepresenting the solution](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=988266#c39). \ No newline at end of file
