Ads and page level analytics aren’t the only thing gathering data. There is server-side now (and previously) hosted by the site owner. It’s a lost cause to fight this. I admire you all for using FF because uBO just for the experience, but it’s only a partial data block. Serverside and thumbprinting- you can’t be anonymous even with Tor, VPN, etc. | ||

Any privacy benefits of blocking ads are incidental compared to the usability improvements it brings. I have near zero tolerance for ads. | ||

Blocking even part of it is a win. Not sure why we should treat this as a dichotomy | ||

uBo + tamper monkey is needed just to block popups. Adblock on brave is basically non existent compared to uBO | ||
