It's a bit redundant to run both at the same time, considering they both practically do the same thing and one is built off of the other.
It's not even practically the same thing, it is exactly the same plugin as uBlock Origin, same UI, blocklists, etc but with added features.

Just curious- if ads are for something illegal, couldn't this expose me to liability for theoretically "clicking" it from my IP/device? And if ads are for something unsavory ( like a "chat with local cougars" site or something similar), wouldn't they start to deliver me more such ads, thinking, wow this IP is the only one clicking every sex chat ad, send them more!

I've used this for a while. Also, I love filling out corpo surveys because I feed them bad data. It's the little acts of chaos.
Another great extension:

If they want real information, they can pay me, and even then, well... :) Don't work for free.
