> It's not a dubious claim

The claim:

> still see some ads using Origin, where with ABP I don't

... is definitely dubious. I still have to see such vague claims to be substantiated, with actual examples of where this happens.

Once in a while someone will provide a URL in support, but it turns out upon investigation that ABP also suffers the issue. I can readily provide URLs where it's actually the opposite, uBO works where ABP does not. For instance, try:

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Internet

    http://kissanime.ru/Anime/Demi-chan-wa-Kataritai-Dub (click on an episode link, start the player)
I absolutely don't mind if people prefer ABP (or whatever else blocker) over uBO, but I will dispute vague baseless claims made about uBO. Surely one can prefer ABP without resorting to spreading misinformation.
