I, not yet wanting particularly to extricate myself from Chrome, use Ublock Origin Lite. It works about as well as the original (although it's less good with paywalls and blocking individual site elements, by which I mean 'not good at all'.) If you can and don't already I would try to replace as much as you can with RSS (which is also really good with paywalls - I use feeder.co and it lets me get around the Atlantic's paywall. Its privacy policy is here: https://feeder.co/help/legal/privacy-policy/. It's hosted in Sweden, in the EU, for what that's worth.)
But as you might have figured out from my use of Chrome, I'm mostly ok with the fact that Google knows everything about me. So I'm probably not the best person to ask.
