examples?
seems like noscript + request policy continued should be almost as
good a blocker without the adblock signature.

  Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering
capabilities for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP
headers, controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious
Internet junk.

Not quite as useful as it once was now that most sites are using
encryption (ie. https://...), but it can still block ad sites.

I'm a bit surprised that works without clearing the cache after step 2

Have you tried noscript + request policy continued?   Seems like that
would do almost the same thing without relying on getting abp enabled
at just the right time.
