   i've never actually used tails but it does seem to be popular with its users   
      
   never tried using extensions in tor browser, but i have tested ublock origin   
   in pale moon browser with streaming movies and series on tubitv, and youtube   
   videos (infused with repetitive "mainstream" commercials and "skip" ads that   
   seem to follow murphy's law, always interrupting at the worst possible time),   
   and discovered that ublock origin works as advertised . . . using obs studio   
   to record whole movies while displayed full screen in pale moon, for example,   
   they play back normally without any commercial interruption (only very short   
   pauses where commercials were being skipped, maybe a fraction of one second)   
      
   clicking the 'x' to close youtube's "ad blockers not allowed" window and the   
   videos played through normally without interruptions, and segued to the next   
   sequence without any further ads until loading another video, again click 'x'
