| Performance Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Performance' aspect of each extension. | 8.0 The ad blocker extension generally works without slowing down the browser on most websites. However, recent changes at YouTube have meant that AdBlock has not yet managed to ban ads from YouTube again. Winner in this category | 7.0 The extension runs smoothly without any noticeable impact on browser performance. There are deductions because links on the website to instruction videos were no longer up to date and due to bugs, among other things, no subscription was possible at the time of the test. |

With the premium version, you can also use functions to make individual adjustments. You're in control of the look, feel, and font size of AdBlock with easy-to-use controls. There is also the Image Swap function, which will still block ads, but it will replace some ads with pretty pictures of cats, dogs, and nature. | 9.0 The design is clean and visually appealing.

| Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 7.5 The free version offers good value for money. Compared to other competitors, the premium functions may be somewhat more expensive.

The Pro and Premium versions offer excellent value for those who need advanced features, but the cost might be a barrier for some users. Winner in this category |
| Ease of Use Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each extension. | 7.8 Installation is done in one click. However, you are immediately redirected to a website that informs you that payment is required to use it. However, this is only a voluntary donation.  | 8.5 The extension is straightforward to set up and use. The only thing you can get lost in for hours is the individual settings until you have tested every logo, arrangement, etc. before making your final decision for your layout.
