you realize running abp on top of umatrix is completely redundant, right?

Not at all.
I utilize uMatrix to block unwanted scripts on websites, like some trackers that ABP doesn't catch.
I find uMatrix' AdBlocking potential to be rather lacking, I rely on ABP for that.
They work in perfect harmony.
While I admit that ublock is faster, Adblock plus has much better integration and looks better. When it's installed it presents me with very few options and I'm basically good to go without changing and settings.
Additionally I use umatrix which covers and options abp does not,which helps abps speed to almost not matter anymore.
Lastly I would add that the latencies I've measured to be caused by Adblock plus fall almost into the region of "doesn't matter". What little benefit ublock has given me the Times I've tested it was barely worth it.
Purely by "it's faster" you should probably be using ed over any other editor right now since ed is objectively faster than any other POSIX editor. Or pretty much most editors.
>strictly
I'd refrain from using absolutes when making statements about personal opinion. It makes you look like a fool.
>no advantages
As stated earlier, abp has much better integration. It's one advantage vs one advantage.
Seems like personal choice to me.
