Waterfox ad blocker in testing, looks great!
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

- Peter Lowe's Ad and Tracking Server List
