Perhaps the issue is that UBlock Origin allows some ads. AdBlocker Ultimate, recommended by Firefox, faces that issue, removing all adds. See https://addons.mo

    I'll do my best, swinglock. I heard somewhere that UBlock Origin has acceptable ads, and based on that, the AdBlocker Ultimate had an appeal to me of removing them all. I went on to investigate on it, and couldn't find much on UBlock Origin having acceptable ads. Some shady UBlock Origin-like websites claimed that, but UBlock Origin itself blocked them. I'm wrong about UBlock Origin having acceptable ads, from what I gathered. Thank you for questioning my claims, swinglock.

      You are confusing Ad Block Plus (ABP) and uBlock Origin. ABP has acceptable ads, while uBlock Origin does not.

      I think you had a fuzzy memory of adblock allowing "acceptable" ads and mis-associated it. Human brains are like that.

      Kelamir, perhaps you are confusing UBlock Origin's policy with that of Adblock Plus. https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads

  > EDIT: I don't think UBlock Origin has acceptable ads anymore :) uBlock Origin has _never_ had "acceptable" (or any other kind) of ads.

  Note that uBlock Origin is also "recommended by Firefox". In fact for some time now it's been the only supported extension on Firefox preview on Android.
