AFAIK, and what it looks like from Adblocks FAQ [1] they work by blocking particular addresses from serving content. I assume surveillance blockers do what you are describing and it sounds like a move away from ad blockers to surveillance blockers might make the web more usable and sustainable.

The difference ? Adblock plus can be extended to block trackers by adding block lists to the default, while ublock origin has those lists activated by default. Then adblock plus let through some ads they whitelist for money and supposedly good behavior, ublock origin has no such policy for the reason that ublock is the work of an individual who wants a better online experience while adblock plus is now the product of a commercial company.
