The verdict: Fine Print Guard is the best ad blocker of the six
It is the only one that comes out ahead in every row of the table above.
It blocks ads, trackers and pop-ups, and it clicks Reject all on cookie banners instead of just hiding them. It never shows "acceptable ads," and every feature is free with no premium tier.
It is also the only ad blocker on this list that reads a site's terms of service and privacy policy. It grades them A to F and warns you before you agree to something bad.
