#### Dispelling a few myths flying around

- Yes it does. If you don't believe it, try entering `twitter.com##body` in the
_"Your filters"_ text area and see what happens when you visit twitter.com.

is the UI counterpart to "element hiding", i.e. being able to click on an element
to extract filters out of it.
- "The memory usage isn't actually ABP's fault, _EasyList_ is like 40,000+ lines of rules that all have to be parsed by ABP".
- Hum, µBlock also parse _EasyList_. And _EasyPrivacy_. And _Malware domains_ lists.

And _Peter Lowes's Ad server_ list. Out of the box. Yet uses less than half the

extensions may also add their own memory footprint.)

- No it doesn't. There are things ABP can do which µBlock can't at this time. I will
consider all feature requests, but I will implement only those which do not jeopardize µBlock's
defining traits: lean, efficient and minimalist.
Filters with the `$popup` option are ignored. At time of writing, I see 558 such
filters in _EasyList. Chromium comes with a built-in popup blocker, which can be enabled
in the settings.
Filters with the `$elemhide` option are ignored. At time of writing, I see 50 such
filters in _EasyList_. The purpose of these filters is to disable cosmetic filters on
specific site.
