Adblock is in the name so it’s what people go with.
Whenever a friend or family member asks me for help and I see this, I tell them it’s not very good and recommend uBlock Origin instead. If they don’t have anything, I recommend uBlock Origin anyway since it helps reduce malware ridden ads and improves website loading performance, not to mention it’s just so much cleaner of an experience for nearly any website you visit.
I can’t remember anyone telling me they would rather keep Adblock Plus instead of letting me move them over to uBlock Origin.
Why the fuck are people still using adblock? They did a similar thing many years ago already, which is when ublock properly took off.
Because people don’t know
This is it. It’s the “Xerox” effect in action.
