Note regarding the methodology: It has been said that I was unfair toward ABP because I didn't
use [Peter Lowes Ad server](http://pgl.yoyo.org/) list for ABP while I did for µBlock. It is
true that I could have installed the list, which most certainly account for the difference
between ABP and µBlock. My answer to this is available at [Wilders Security Fourm](http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/%C2%B5block-a-lean-and-fast-blocker.365273/page-3#post-2386023).
