To test drive this I needed to apply some configuration tweaks, but the built-in ad blocker seems to just work. I tried it out on YouTube and a few other sites, and I haven't seen so much as a hitch.

Here's a look at the configuration screen, which currently resides at the top of Settings > Privacy:

Ads from the default search provider are enabled (per their request), but disabling them is pretty straightforward. Other functionality, like toggling the default filter lists (12 are enabled by default) or adding your own are accessible via buttons.

Lists enabled by default:

  • Default
    • EasyList
    • EasyPrivacy
    • uBO Filters
    • uBO quick-fixes
    • uBO unbreak
  • Privacy
    • AdGuard Tracking Protection
    • Peter Lowe's Ad and Tracking Server List
    • uBO Badware
    • uBO Privacy
    • uBO Resource Abuse
  • Annoyances
    • EasyCookie
    • uBO annoyances-cookies

Other available lists:

  • Fanboy's Annoyances
  • Fanboy's Anti-Chat
  • Fanboy's Anti-Newsletter
  • Fanboy's Mobile Notifications
  • Fanboy's Social
  • 34 more Regional lists

Or you can disable and just use uBlock Origin like you do already

Excuse me, you mean the uBlock Origin fork AdNauseam, which goes a step further and intentionally garbles up advertisers' click data by clicking every ad without loading the resulting content. uBO is old news in light of AN. Don't just take their crap; fight back!

Tried it, but found it less reliable
