I've never had an (Ad) blocker as I'm relatively happy with most sites but there are some that are not behaving well.

When I last looked (at least two years ago) there wasn't a single blocker that supports a blacklist-only mode. Meaning: Allow everything unless I block a certain domain.

Does anyone have an idea if something like this exists now?

Well if you disable all the filters of Ublock and add your block list to the "My filters" tab that should do what you want :)

Thanks but that's not what I'm looking for.

I don't want to maintain any block lists myself. I want to use all the 3rd-party Filters available but I only want them to be active on certain spammy websites. As far as I can tell ublock doesn't let me do that either.

Just don't enable any filter lists. A while back you had to add them manually; now I think it's a matter of unchecking them in the first-run dialog.

ABP also makes it easy to create very specific rules: only block a particular resource when accessed from the current domain.

Thanks but that's not what I'm looking for. I want them all enabled! But I only want to enable the addon for certain blacklisted sites.
