Mostly interested in non-standard ones, e.g. https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt. Not necessarily just about ad-blocking but a clean online experience like SponsorBlock. Interested in non-standard uBO lists as well.

I will try to compile a list of what was said here:

Automatic Captcha Solving: Buster. Great mention, use it myself!
Consent-O-Matic. Didn't know about this one, will give it a look!
Additional Annoyances list for uBO
DNS blocking/ Pi hole

A uBO list that filters out all of the word salad generating click farms would be amazing. So many search results in general are ruined, but anything like "how to..." or "when is the next season of..." are always ridiculous.

With Kagi, you can kind of do this, either through lenses or by completely blocking website from your search results. Obviously not as good as a block list but still, something.

I read about one. Let me see if I can still find it..

Edit: I can't.
