Vimium C – Extension to navigate website by keyboard shortcuts
FYI Qutebrowser is has a pretty good ad-blocker since 2.0
> Since version 2.0.0, if the Python adblock library is available, it will be used to integrate Brave’s Rust adblocker library for improved adblocking, based on ABP-like filter lists (such as EasyList). If that library is unavailable or on older versions of qutebrowser, a simpler built-in ad blocker is used instead. It takes /etc/hosts-like lists and thus is only able to block entire hosts.
You just need optional dependancy https://pypi.org/project/adblock/

Adding Vimium to Chrome was a game-changer, it added a lot of shortcuts that helped me improve my productivity. Do ya'll enable Vim commands with every app you use or is it just me?
There are various solutions to this - see point 21 in the FAQ

Drop Windows 32-bit support?

-
Minimal browser with effective adblocking?
You will need the (optional) adblock Python library. Once you have that installed, with the default content.blocking.method = auto setting, it'll be enabled automatically. You can also set the setting to adblock explicitly, then you'll get a warning if the library wasn't found.

Browser extensions spy on you, even if its developers don't
You can also use a declarative adblocker like uBlock Origin Lite [1], which only provides the browser with a list of elements to filter, but doesn't have any permissions to read content or perform requests. Or simply use your hosts file to apply OS-wide filtering with no browser add-ons needed: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
Be aware that if you use these "passive" blocking methods, there are some sites like YouTube where you will see ads, because in these cases it's necessary to actually manipulate page content to hide them. What you can do is use a traditional adblocker but enable it only for these few sites where the declarative approach is not enough, take a look at [2] for more details.

[Paid Release]CCAdsBeGone - Customized Ads Blocking At Your Fingertips
When I select my custom hosts file, it basically breaks internet. However, if I choose a custom hosts file that is a copy of the dev's default, or if I just add a few lines to it, it will work. If I add too many lines, or use a different hosts file altogether (like the ones recommended by the dev), all connectivity breaks. Of course the latest official LetMeBlock is installed and mDNSResponder killed/restarted. I'm using Dopamine on A12+.
