I have several sites that I block using /etc/hosts. That way no matter what browser profile I'm using, that site is blocked on all of them, adblock, ublock etc or not. I might add, for some sites, they can't detect it is being blocked with those anti-adblock detectors. A few sites will not let you use them if adblock is running. If I disable adblock, the offending site is still blocked. The only downside, it blocks pretty much the entire site. It can block content you want. Adblock and such allows you to block ad directories and such where hosts file doesn't. Each has its own usage I guess. Dale :-) :-)
