Whatever works for you.
Personally, I have none of the above issues with Unlock origin. Its deeply tunable, so after adding a few lists past the default, it stops all the above without issue.

foggy@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoIt is not the best adblocking by far, that is not accurate.
It is better than the free AdBlock extension, yes. It is not better than AdBlock premium. No more cookies popups, no more floating video players on news sites, no more mailing list popups. These are three things that you do not get with ublock origin. I know because I use both.
I already use adgaurds DNS, which is free.
Lastly, I’m more than happy to pay $15/yr to a company fighting a fight I believe in. Now, I wouldn’t pay $40/yr, but if all I need to do is change my VPN from New Jersey to Montreal to get more than 50% off that price, it’s a no brainier.
My only complaint is they don’t have a Firefox mobile extension, so when I’m on my phone I’m stuck with janky-ass ublock origin and nothing better.

You do you, but I will say uBO can block all of those things, it just doesn’t do it all out of the box.
You have to subscribe to the right blocklists, or manually remove elements you don’t want from sites you visit frequently.
ABP offers you the convenience of not having to manually tinker with everything, which is what money is supposed to be used for - convenience.
