Not sure which methods you already know about but.. Another approach would be to setup unbound with redirects for those domains to lighttpd and just have the following in index.html:
<html> </html> Ads will not appear or have placeholders this way, and whole domains that serve ads/tracking will not be connected to, you won't notice any placeholders and sites will load faster. There is a perl script around somewhere (and a pythton parser somewhere) that can help with converting hosts files and adblock filters to unbound redirects. It's not more effective than ublock, but it's another option. Since you already use privoxy, I suggest blocking flash, js annoyances, web bugs, and third party cookies that way. Basically filter out all cruft you can live without via privoxy. I wouldn't try building an adblock "list" with privoxy though as the more stuff you filter with privoxy the slower your browsing experience is. I've noticed the same problem, ublock isn't as effective as it was and some sites seem to be standing up to adblockplus and the ads industry in general: http://uk.businessinsider.com/adblock-plus-un-invited-from-iab-conference-2016-1?r=US&IR=T Maybe people aren't contributing to the filters as much now that XUL is coming to and end. There is also the privacy badger extension, but I prefer creating my own filters with ublock to adding more filtering in the browser. Firefox used to have a way to block "third party" images, or just block all images and then add exceptions.. not sure where those features are gone.
