People are talking about uBlock Origin...

I really like it, no doubts it's good and everyone should consider using it.

BUT, since we are talking about uBlock Origin, I'd like to mention another awesome extention Raymond Hill made.

uMatrix (https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix)

uMatrix alone is very powerful, and will prevent most ads.

Yes you as a user need to do the work, but the result is better.

If you like the idea of uMatrix, you may also look at NoScript!

Actually, I live almost ad free using NoScript + uBlock Origin for at least 2 yrs.

$rewrite... what a dumb feature btw!

I find uMatrix+uBO (with uMatrix set to block everything by default and uBlock Origin set to it's default easy mode) to be best setup. Ads virtually never get through, and most websites don't need javascript at all to read the articles so my uMatrix whitelist is actually surprisingly small.
