  If true, any suggestions on alternatives that work just as well as this (used) to?

    I've been using a combination of Ghostery and EFF Privacy Badger to some decent success.

    Afaict, there is a single checkbox to click ('Allow some non-intrusive advertising') to not see white listed ads. I do not see ads from Google, MS, etc. when it is unselected.

      I have the box checked and I recently started seeing Youtube ads.

    Personally, I have found NoScript for be sufficent for my needs. I don't mind advertising, but what I do mind is ads that pop-up, animate, or move. NoScript seems to take care of most of these.

  This seems to be growing: Adblock Edge - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-edge/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-edge/ The strangest thing is that I've seen ABP advertising for job openings here on HN.
