@ -45,14 +45,14 @@ So I did the **exact** above steps for no blocker, ABP, uBlock.
- **Adblock Plus** 1.8.8: **1,509.05 MB** (reference _plus_ 339.7 MB)
- **µBlock** 0.8.2.0: **1,042.94 MB** (reference _minus_ 126.41 MB, ABP _minus_ 466.11 MB)
You can't compare directly the figures between the browsers -- they are taken using different methodology from one browser to the other. The benchmarks are more to compare the figures for various blockers within the same browser.
#### Notes
Tested on Firefox 34 64-bit and Chromium 39 64-bit on Linux Mint. No other extensions were present.
I chose the _"Explicit Allocations"_ figure because as per Firefox, it is "the single best number to focus on" with regard to memory usage.

Without going into details, hardware is i5 quadcore + 8 GB
If other users feel like repeating the tests, it would be nice just to confirm I got everything right.
