Hi,
The best one is the one that works best for you.

Try uBlock Origin.

Supposed to be a tad better & use less resources than Ad Block Plus.

(Always choose the "Custom" Install.)

I use uBlock Origin which is much lighter than ABP (It uses 1M of memory versus 31M for ABP) and is just as effective. In addition it also does not allow some non-intrusive advertising as ABP does by default.

uBlock Origin =D>
