Ad-blockers have become very popular as sites are often uncomfortable to view with ads.
I actually have GBATemp whitelisted because I want to support the site.
I'm using NanoAdblocker with a lot of additional filter lists. It's a modified version of uBlock.
The only reason I'm using NanoAdblocker and not uBlock is that NanoAdblocker can bypass a lot of sites that would normally detect your ad-blocker.
What ad-blocker are you using? Do you have any peculiar filter lists?

uBlock Origin. My old rooted phone had AdAway installed, but these days, I don't do much web browsing on my phone, aside from Twitter and Reddit.

Wipr for macOS. Don't liked Ad Block plus because I had to downloaded it. Wipr does extension instead so I prefer that. And I don't liked UBlock Orgin because of my bank online had an issues with it so I had to disabled it. Wipr does the job just fine.

I use Ublock Origin with Nano Defender and AutoplayStopper on my casual browser. On my privacy-focused browser, I use much more extensions on top of Ublock Origin.

Funny you should ask. I use(d) Ad Block Plus in Firefox Quantum, but 10 minutes ago Firefox proclaimed the plugin "unsafe" and "unverified" and removed it on its own so now I'm not using anything I guess. Luckily this thread came up at this very moment, with a ton of recommendations to look into, but seriously, WTF.

I use Adaway and Ublock Origin.
What's funny is I had a VERY similar experience to you. Yesterday, suddenly my Icedragon browser (which is Firefox based) suddenly told me 3 of my add-ons were no longer compatible. Ublock origin, cookie auto delete and one more! I spent the largest part of the next several hours trying to determine what happened.
Eventually, I had to manually download my add-ons from git hub and disable signature verification before I could use them again :angry:

hosts file (http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm) + ublock/nano adblock + umatrix/noscript (depends on browser) + video autoplay blocker (as imperfect as it is, way too many sites want to play video)

Still doesn't catch 100% of things, but every time I browser without any of the above...I can't understand how other people handle the cyclone bomb of ads.
