Roughly similar to using Adblock Plus (ABP) with EasyList only.
This mode is more suitable for those who are little concerned about their privacy. Only advertisements are blocked, as per EasyList filters. This mode is closer to what you get with default ABP settings (when you disable ABP's acceptable ads filter list).
- Very low likelihood of web pages being broken.
- Web pages will load faster than if using no blocker at all.
- Privacy exposure reduction is rather incidental.
