I am going to upset a few people, but as much as I like Raymond Hill (gorhill)'s work on uBlock, I disagree with his views concerning the use of uBlock Origin.
For example, someone is always quick to point out that you shouldn't use Privacy Badger with uBlock. I absolutely disagree.
Does anyone remember Nano Blocker, which acted like a helper to circumvent anti-ad blocking? Privacy Badger may not be designed for this purpose, but for the past 5+ years, it has worked just fine in that capacity.
When everyone tells me, for example, that sometimes YouTube doesn't allow you to block ads or that a paid subscription service doesn't work with uBlock, I laugh, because it works if you add Privacy Badger. While everyone else has been struggling, for over half a decade everything on my end has been sunshine and clear skies.
uBlock Origin Lite is another little annoyance. Raymond Hill doesn't believe you should check all the boxes for all the sources because, supposedly, you'll run into more site breakage. He feels so strongly about this that he added a built-in limit. It's my browser and my experience, and I really should have full control because, honestly, it works better with all the sources enabled.
But Raymond Hill decided to act like Microsoft or Apple and impose his own beliefs on my experience.
