uBO is fine for clearing up crud after you've accessed an article.

It's not useful for piercing paywalls / registration walls in the first place.

It's also not universally available, particularly on mobile devices and/or Google Chrome.

FYI it is available on Firefox for Android.

Yep, and I use it there...

... though my preferred Android browser these days is Einkbro, optimised for an e-ink device as the name suggests, that being what I drive.

(Firefox on e-ink is ... beyond annoying.)

The browser itself has pretty good ad-blocking capabilities, but I'd rather much like to be able to block specific elements as well.
