I use AdBlock Plus because of the Element Hiding Helper addon, which lets me easily and perpetually hide whatever DOM element I decide is annoying me or taking up unnecessary space. To my knowledge there is no similar addon for uBlock Origin.

That is built in uBlock Origin.

Click the eyedropper tool "enter element picker mode" https://www.dropbox.com/s/niy881lyaca4zmx/Screenshot%202016-...

Hey, thanks!
It works the same exact way. You can select a DOM element and blacklist it. Manually or by using the Eyedropper tool.

I am using uBlock Origin 1.5.5, and it has a Block Element feature. Not sure how it differs from AdBlock Plus's implementation, though.
