Allow acceptable ads by default, which is unfair to users hoping to block all ads.

Asks for a paid subscription to block annoyances which are just normal free filters in other adblocking solutions.

Ublock doesn't have "acceptabe ads" by default, and seems to be more lightweight and full-featured

Is not a replacement for other ad blockers, is specific to in video ads on youtube, as well as other extras you may want to skip. Great ad on, but its a supplement, not a replacement to uBlock Origin.

Ghostery tells you when a website is requesting private information (and offers to block the request). uBlock prevents advertisements from loading.
