I used this for some time and it's great; built atop ublock origin and does exactly what it purports to. The only downside is that it is used by such a comparatively small market-share that it's harder to blend in, but I imagine modern browser fingerprinting negates this concern anyway. Also it's (tellingly) banned from the Chrome store last I used Chrome, and you had to install it via a zip file. There is (or at least was) a user-hostile nag each time you start Chrome (or Chromium) about allowing an unidentified extension but I guess that's now moot if Chrome now doesn't permit sanctioned ad-blockers.

- 0xADEADBEE 7y agoI agree with this - it's there (annoyingly, phrased exactly the same way I wrote my comment but I swear I didn't know and I haven't been on that page in months!) but they're not exactly leading with it. uBlock Origin has a strong brand and it's a bit myopic not to leverage that in a more prominent way. Still, I'm glad it's getting noticed and I'm sure their install base went up a fair bit from this thread alone!
