I have no share in Google but I have been waiting for such an ad blocker for years : I don't want to block all ads I want an ad blocker that protects me from popunder (is there any point to those ?) popups, autoplay videos, ad walls and other shitty ads that make my experience awful. I don't want an adblocker that blocks everything by default and where I have to manually white list all the sites I consult regularly. I already spent a while on some really good blogs before realizing that adblock was killing all their ads for no reason.

> popunder (is there any point to those ?) I recall reading that the original intention of popunder ads was to provide a degree of separation between the site content and the ad, as you see the ad. isolated rather than directly next to the site content. By doing so, the ad. provider has to worry less about their brand appearing next to content they may find objectionable.

You can do this with any of the popular adblockers (including uBlock Origin) that work with filter lists. They come with a default set of lists, but you can disable those and only subscribe to lists that block annoyances, malware, or whatever else you want.
