Remove Headers Stuck To The Top Of Websites You View? Like The menus At the top of websites that take up half the screen and dont go away when you scroll down.
To deal with sticky headers specifically, you can also subscribe to the Web Annoyances Ultralist (theSubscribe button is on the sidebar), but it might be a little too aggressive. If you have issues with it, report them directly to the list authors.

Additional filters
It seems like they do not contain at least one of the lists you mentioned (uBO Annoyances), IDK about the other 2.

Windows 11 Defender says uBlock Origin has Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml
Yes and now it's working fine. The custom list I was using was https://github.com/yourduskquibbles/webannoyances so maybe that one got flagged.

Adguard firefox extension really slows down YouTube, Google translate and Google maps… what can I do?
I guess you can try Web Annoyances Ultralist and/or Dandelion's Annoyances. If they are too aggressive for you, you can add the parts from the list you want. It's all in the repo.
- Are there any apps, browsers maybe that will get rid of things like these?

2.7M Brits still use a 3G only handset, as the 3G switch off looms closer
I have a 3G device still able to watch YT and a very old Kindle Fire that has NewPipe [1] installed for watching YT in bed (whilst my phone is on charge).
I don't see why not either - if the device was capable of H264 when it was released, why not now?
