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'
