I recommend switching from AdBlock Plus to uBlock Origin.

uBlock Origin is run by what seems to be a very principled and knowledgeable person.

(The only downside I recall from moving from ABP to UBO is if you're a blocklist developer: adding site-specific rules in a form suitable for shared blocklists is currently easier in ABP than UBO. For my current experimental data set, I have manually added over 10,000 such site-specific blocklist rules, mostly one or a few at a time, using the text editor in UBO, but I still prefer UBO to ABP overall.)
