I quite like AdBlock Plus. I've been using it for a long while and I appreciate the Acceptable Ads program, nothing is free and I wish to support websites if I can. It's either that or a paywall. I also use uMatrix, which I recommend to run in conjunction with adblock, it allows for a very finegrained permission control, much more finegrained than uBlock.

You can't negotiate with advertisers -- you can't make a bargain between ads or paywalls. Advertisers want it all. Only technical restrictions will stop them. Even then they'll try to use lawsuits, government agencies, moral shaming and worse.

  >You can't negotiate with advertisers Well, seing how websites actually sign up for this and I've personally found it very pleasant, you can negotiate with some advertisers. Just not the cancerous ones that would shove more malicious malware down your throat than not-malware.google.not-malware.ru using internet explorer 6 on an unpatched Windows XP without Service Pack.
