Hmm, I thought I saw a similar picker existing in AdNauseam, but I may be wrong. I could definitely get on board with your approach; while Inspector can delete stuff, it doesn't remember them across page reloads or sessions, so this would be handy indeed!

Oh, what can it do that AdNauseam and NoScript can't?

Join me in leaving uBlock Origin for AdNauseam! I made a post about it that ended up gaining significant traction: https://midwest.social/post/25573927

omg, I'm using NoScript now and my eyes have been opened; I can't ever go back!! Thanks for the analogy; that was a much-needed, jolting wake-up call.

I was reacting to its GitHub:

This project is NOT currently being maintained. Code is made available for developers to fork. This is the FireFox version of the project, for Chrome see https://github.com/vtoubiana/TrackMeNot-Chrome.

So I'm wondering which active fork is best to go off of for Firefox. I could've been clearer; my bad.

Oops, right. For Firefox, though, it's tethered to Mozilla accounts for sync, right?

I'm also hoping to find a way to reach and use a whitelist more easily, although I suppose it's mostly one-time activation.

But I think I'm gonna go the NoScript route that someone else mentioned here, since that lets you selectively enable some JS while disabling others on the same website.

Thanks for the reminder about PeerTube... I've gotta look into that, too.

Careful: that then enters the world of ad fraud, which randos like us doing the clicking isn't considered as.

Fascinating, thanks for sharing! What is the best, current Firefox fork of this one, if you know?

You incorrectly use the term ad fraud, which addresses advertisers themselves automating clicks on their own links to generate fake income. There is nothing wrong with people-with-no-corporate-interest who click.

Oops, lol, I forgot about the date. This has existed for years.

Totally, it's up to you. The idea for fake-clickers is the long game: the marketers think they're landing clicks over months or possibly even years, but ~~will~~ may slowly realize (gotta account for the stubborn ones) that it's ineffective and eventually pivot to different approaches, hopefully ones that involve less tracking (I can't imagine what any worse approach could be, at least).
