Is AdBlock Plus needed to filter everything Proxo misses?

[43unite]

It seems to me that no protection is 100% complete. And as existing threats and issues change and new ones emerge various layers of protective applications complement each other. I appreciate Proxo and wouldn't surf without it. But it would be shortsighted to expect Proxo to handle everything that exists now and in the future. That's just reality, not a Proxo fault. So, for me it's logical to use whatever makes sense, in addition to Proxo, as a complement to it. Like others have said, it's much more than just about ad blocking. Proxo performs functions and has capabilities that no others match. So I don't see a problem here. Proxo is not being degraded. People can use whatever they want. And those that don't use, or know about Proxomitron need something, right? LOL.

Mele, if you don't want to use ABP then don't. No biggie. It's not an exclusivity conflict, nor a threat against Proxo, an either/or choice. Remember the concept of 'layered protection'? Proxo is superb. I add my own filters as needed. Perhaps you can, too.

As was pointed out earlier, this could probably be done with effort if so desired. Since ABP can be potentially updated at least once daily the applicable Proxo components would require some form of user or group periodic and regular updating as well.

Hats off to all the developers and contributors here who help strengthen and enhance Proxo's unique capabilities.
