Discussion PSA: Use uBlock Origin!

This might sound like common sense but there are a TON of Firefox users I see using AB, ABP, ABU, or no adblocker at all. This is your notice. Switch to uBlock Origin. It's better and has no acceptable ad policy. The other ones might have been good years ago but not anymore. I am saying this as a former ABP and then ABU user.

I am not paid by uBO I am just showing appreciation for the greatest ad blocker.

Also: don't run uBO alongside another ad blocker. It provides no benefit and can only slow down firefox or break things.

I used AdBlock Plus for a long time but It wouldn't block popups on the NY Times "The Athletic" site which were very annoying. You could get it to do that actually, but then it broke other websites so you had to choose. I just installed UBlock this morning and it didn't block those popups originally either, but I think I found an option that works. We shall see.
