What about extensions like Element Hiding Helper, Customizations and similar?
Sadly, we don’t have the resources to rewrite these extensions. We just released Element Hiding Helper 1.4, and it will most likely remain as the last Element Hiding Helper release. There are plans to integrate some comparable functionality into Adblock Plus, but it’s not clear at this point when and how it will happen.
Sad news, indeed.
For many years now, ABP has been the defacto Firefox Add-on to use and only lately some web sites (and streaming providers) have managed to code -advanced- JavaScript to, somewhat, get around it.
On Android where it isn't really (easily) possible to use a hosts file to complement ABP this usually means having to use a different Add-on, because Firefox can get poisoned beyond repair; & it does, with the only remaining option to reset the app by clearing data.
Hopefully the web extension will bring many improvements. Thank you and best of luck! =)
