Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can’t stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything. Honestly it’s kinda wild to me that this isn’t more popular now that people are so used to phone gestures. It’s good for the same reasons!

So what would you recommend to replace it?

You could try Consent-O-Matic. That’s what I use. It also doesn’t simply agree to everything like the other one but chooses the most privacy-friendly option instead.

Ublock Origin has annoyance filters that you can enable.

Does this work for you? I have that filter enabled but it doesn’t really catch everything.

Currently I just deal with the banners (as annoying as they are) and shed a tear at the state of the modern internet.
