There is nothing wrong with preferring ABP to uBO. There is however something wrong when someone engages in misinformation regarding uBO because of their preference for ABP.

uBlock Origin is lighter on the browser because of many choices which were made regarding how the filtering engine is designed internally. A coarse enumeration of these choices are:
- lean in-memory filter representation
- plain string comparisons instead of regular expressions wherever possible
