Re: uBlock Origin
I've gone with uBlock Origin as well, it performs a good deal better than adBlock. Previously I used adBlock Edge, the open source fork of adBlock, which didn't do white-listing. If nothing else the fragmentation makes it hard to buy white listing in all the adblockers...
Curiosity caused me to go find the difference between uBlock and uBlock origin: it's described here: https://www.ublock.org/faq/ for the nosey.
