Summary

Adblock Fast is a faster, open-source ad blocker.

Just as webpages grew bloated with ads, so too have ad blockers grown bloated with little-used filtering rules and features that sap their speed and hog your computer’s CPU, memory, and storage. Adblock Fast runs a mere 12 optimized filtering rules to accelerate pages 8x more but consume 6x less computing resources than other ad blockers do.

Nice, but comments in some pages are blocked too. If it's solved, I would be perfect, and I'd give it five stars.

Muy ligero, perfecto. Bloquea esa publicidad intrusiva y molesta sin chupar memoria ni recursos. Otros bloqueadores te atiborras a configuraciones y demás, y chupan muchísima RAM, este no. Además analiza las páginas en busca de malware y lo bloquea. Es Genial!
