Ghostery is the one which reports your browsing history to advertisers (by default/opt-out), and also shows advertisements of its own.

Not recommended over uBO.

I haven't seen any ads, except Twitter's sponsored posts. It is possible/probable I set the right setting back when.

Since Youtube chokes anyway nowadays (I did manage to stave it off for a few years), I might as well go back to uBO.

You may have better luck using vlc / mpv to play YouTube videos on the pi.

Even with uBO, Twitter's ads still show up for me.

The ads I get on Twitter are at least related to my interests, and sometimes are new things that are right up my alley (like new Rasbperry Pi gizmos, and that Turing Tumble game), so I don't even mind. They must have a lot of advertisers to be able to be that specific.

For the record, this section of Wikipedia seems pretty outdated. Ghostrank has been removed from Ghostery in 2017 after Cliqz acquired Ghostery and the extension was open-sourced.

(Disclaimer: I worked there at the time)
