I love it. It is indeed lightweight as it promised. The best lightweight adblocker. (Edit. Unfortunately I have to deactivate it and activate another adblock while I am on youtube, because it fails to block the video ads on youtube or it half blocks the video ads on youtube making the real video under lagging like crazy. So overall that is great except on youtube.)

I use this Ad blocker and I'm quite happy from my choice to switch from Ublocks. SmartAdBlocker do better job blocking ads, on sites where none of the other ad blockers can't, and even better having better anti detection from sites recognizing the ad blockers.Although sometimes make some sites act funny and unexpected, or not managing to stay undetected. Good things is that lets people report the sites that the blocker fail on, so the devs or whoever maintain it to patch the specific rules for the site. That's I call dedication.

Works well with more toxic sites... doesn't seem to block ads on YouTube though! Epic fail.
