Just an amusing obervation: number of addblock scripts needed

Gillian Densmore
I just for fun thread, and not sure better here or wedtech mail list.  But it's also a distrubinbly bad trend:
I personally have on chrome: 4 differerent adblockers Addblock Plus, Ublock both get installed bassically after installing a browser
Youtube adblocker
A Facebook adblocker

Trying to find a twitter adblocker as well

On my phone tried to get some adblockers to work (costs me money to get spammed I discovered) 

That's several different addblockers just to fix or filter out spam. That's nuts!

How many adblocking or popup filters: adons or user or possibly greese monkey scripts are folks up to these days?  I've had pretty good luck in the past with ghostery to a point. But sometimes it breaks FB Messenger or Hangouts (google) wich alas ugh I use (to much!) to get even voicemail transcripts I've discovered -_-

So how many filters are people up to now? any ideas what can be done to get those arguable leaches off the weby-web so websites work?
