Opera does not show anything with that name. I also was not aware that AdBlock Plus used all that many resources to begin with, but good luck with your choice.

Cheers.

It uses huge resources and I had to remove it and replace with uBlock Origin on all of our older laptops -- both Windows and Linux. Resources used by uBlock are negligible and works well.

One of the features of AB+ was the ability to add pictures you wanted to block. Very handy on some forums where people have nasty avatars. But over time, it killed the browser speed.

It was a nice feature (not available in Ublock Orgin). But comparing the two, I also ended up going with Ublock over AB+... The other program I use to use was Adblock Edge. It was a nice product that didn't have the white lists that AB+ sold out to, but Ublock to me was faster than it too.

Run what works for you of course. But yeah, Ublock to me was the faster choice.
