I stopped using adblockers and simply set the entire operating system to use Mullvad's DNS over HTTPS/TLS, specifically the
adblock.dns.mullvad.netoption. It doesn't have all the other uBlock features, but all ads are blocked in all browsers.The big problem with DNS-based ad-blocking is that it doesn't prevent redirects. Sure, you'll get redirected to a harmless blank page, but then you need to go back to the previous page. You don't have that issue with uBlock.
Yes, that happens when I click affiliate links. Blank page and then I go back.
