It's nice seeing you around again @SirJohnVonSlotty, your style has been unique here, not to mention your elaboration on things, it's top-notch. Although this post is more operator-inlined, it's good for everyone open to learning, who knows how it can be useful later?
I've tried my best to read some, oh my...I can't complete reading it in 3 days with my busy schedule.

a good one like ublock origin (i believe is the most popular one used by forum member) does block signatures.
I'm sporting Ad Block Ultimate on Firefox Mac and it lets them through, but I don't think that's a bad thing, I actually used this as an USP for my stakeholders.
I believe all those blockers are good for websites with pop-ups, clickbait and annoying backlinks. Signatures here are better structured.
