  • I could maybe see selectively-blacklisting particularly obnoxious websites

    That's what uBlock Origin already kinda does for you. It's not just an adblocker, it also blocks tracking JavaScript from various sites as well as a bunch of other crap.

  • I looked through your list and found 2 other addons that you can replace with uBO. The first is Consent-O-Matic, you can configure Firefox to automatically block all 3rd-party cookies and use the following lists in uBO to block the cookie popups and notices: "AdGuard/uBO - Cookie Notices" (It's pre-installed in uBlock Origin, you just need to enable it in the settings) and this one: https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/abp/

    You can also replace the ClearURL addon with the "AdGuard URL Tracking Protection" list, it's also pre-installed, just enable it.

    You might gain a little bit of extra speed by disabling/removing those 2 unnecessary addons, and it will definitely minimize your browser fingerprint, making you less susceptible to tracking

    Edit: You can also replace Bypass Paywalls Clean with this list: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters/-/raw/main/bpc-paywall-filter.txt. I also recommend this list in addition to the other one: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llacb47/miscfilters/master/antipaywall.txt. Also install Violentmonkey and this userscript: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters/-/raw/main/userscript/bpc.en.user.js

  • I used to use Inoreader, before I switched to self-hosted FreshRSS + fivefilters-full-text-rss-docker. I run both services in a Fedora Server VM on my NAS with Safing Portmaster + SPN for extra privacy. This setup should already hide all ads, but if you want be 100% sure, deploy some DNS filtering solution like Pi-Hole or AdGuard Home so your FreshRSS server won't even be able to connect to servers that host advertisements. This is the superior way of consuming content on the internet.

    Edit: I kinda forgot to mention this, but you can either use the FreshRSS web interface, or connect it to a compatible RSS app like (like the previously mentioned Read You)

  • Ironically, in the future, Firefox will be the only browser to properly support uBlock Origin. Chromium will kill adblockers through their MV3 garbage. Switch to Firefox, use the proper version of uBO and keep your browsing license.
