I like https://www.requestpolicy.com/. Never request the 3rd party domains
in the first place. However, for most users, it makes the web unusable
because they don't understand how websites really work these days. As a
test, I installed it to current Tor Browser. Things seem faster because
you are resolving less domains, requesting less data, and never have to
go through a decision of "adblock or not".
