Adblock Plus like many adblockers gets industry funding for a whitelist of “acceptable ads”. uBlock Origin, 1Blocker, NextDNS, ControlD, and sometimes AdGuard tend to block more. The DNS adblock options are particularly interesting as they can block ads in any app, similar to running PiHole or a hosts file, but in the cloud. There are also extensions to change the website to dark mode (Dark Reader), accept some but not all cookie prompts on your behalf (Consent-O-Matic) and block “Open in App” messages (Banish) or annoyances (Hush) or other annoying behaviours (StopTheMadness). Basically… you can have a browsing experience that’s nice and sane, and just the way you want it.
