Qutebrowser seem to have some built-in support for adblocking, have you used that? I'm curious how it works.

Tried it before, long long time ago, but found it to complex. But now after using Vimium for a while Qutebrowser actually seems very intuitive and not hard at all.

qutebrowser has support for host-based blocking, which is better than nothing but a far cry from element blocking like UBlock Origin does. For me, qutebrowser's ad-blocking is pretty hit-and-miss, which is why I'm longing for UBlock Origin haha.
Origin is hard to beat and unfortunately a must have nowadays.

Although I must admit for a longer while I've been ignoring sites that are annoying or unusable without a blocker and it made my day much calmer. I stopped even clicking links on most "news" sites that are just borderline clickbaits.
