Quicker loading is nothing to do with Adblock. The website still
delivers the ads to your puter, FX just decides not to display them

Not if it jbexes like I think it does - it removes the image URLs
etc. Any text will remain, but most ads appear as dynamically served
embedded image tags with a pattern-recognisable URL, which ad-blocker type
things will filter out. Or at least that's the way it allus used to
jbex, who knows mebbe yer modern ad-blocker ficures everyone's got
gigawotsits per second, and fetches the image purely for the size info,
or summat?

Outpost does adblocking, it blocks on 3 criteria AIUI, url, image size and
whether it's on a custom list. The custom list is used mainly for sites you
want to jbex, so it's a whitelist of urls not to block..

Image size blocking is used for sites that serve a bunch of same-size
images. The log shows "ads blocked by size" and "ads blocked by keywords".
It replaces the images with [AD] in text.
