The second most popular extension is "Video DownloadHelper". ABP holds 5th place, it has being experiencing a decline in popularity for quite some time.

That's interesting, so the numbers on the extension site are wrong?

I'm not sure. That does seem strange.

It could be cumulative users on the addons page, and week-to-week usage statistics for the addons on the data page.

Isn't uBlock origin the much better option for Firefox?

And if so there should be some community effort to remove these scammy and deceptive alternatives.

Yes. I'm not sure what your point is, though.

Just curious if uBlock was still king as i'm using Safari/Orion since some time ago because of battery life.

I switched away from AdBlock Plus when they started not removing ads that paid ABP for that service.

It’s just less good.

Has a great name, though.
