Best ad blocker for firefox

[andygo]

There was a thread a couple of months ago that mentioned a really good adblocker for Firefox. I can't find that thread, anybody have some recommendations?

Ublock Origin (not just Ublock). Partner it with Privacy Badger, Facebook Container & NoScript for even better results.

Recently moved to Firefox on everything apart from my ChromeOS device, will install these. Got to say the desktop browser is a huge improvement over a few years ago. The mobile experience is hit and miss. Some websites don't work properly that would in Chrome (both on Android)

Is there a way to disable the blocking for individual sites?

But it doesn't give you access to browser extension like Firefox does. They are one of the main reasons for using Firefox.

On mobile that's true, but on desktop all Chrome extensions are compatible.
