uBlock Origin*

uBlock is the pseudo-malware that profited off of uBO's good name.

The original dev handed over development to a team and left, new cunts removed his name from project and made donation links, original dev came back and made ublock origin which is now the best adblock out there.

I've only known ublock as ublock origin had no idea of this fiasco

I learned about this years ago and the details are a bit hazy, but you may find this warning by the developers of uBlock Origin to be relevant.

There's also a "uBlock" extension available on Chrome that lists ublock.org as its website. From what I remember, AdBlock Plus and/or uBlock engaged in advertisement middlemanning. Essentially, they would let ads through to the end user as long as the advertisers gave them a cut and the ads weren't deemed "intrusive." I know ABP did this when I switched away, I'm not sure about uBlock.

uBlock Origin is a general content blocker, which puts it ahead of ad blockers anyway. You can configure it to block things like cookie popups too.
