Adnaseum is better. It actively tries to help websites by "clicking through" all tracking ads without accepting a return payload so it is safe for you. This means the website you are browsing gets the income from the ad clicks and you have an ad free experience. This also obsficates your online presence by clicking everything.
That's not going to be very useful for very long. Advertisers will very quickly wise up and find a way to detect this.
The plugin has been active for 4+ years and still works. It will get detected as more people use Firefox.
Adnas, even though it's based on ublock, I've noticed it doesn't catch an ad occasionally even when set up the same.
