Any browser plugin is inferior to using a hosts file. Hosts file's blackhole any network request before even attempting to make a connection. These browser plugins only help if you're using the specific browser — they aren't going to help that electron/desktop app that's phoning home. They wont help block inline media links (Messages on a Mac pre-rendering links) that show up in your chat programs which attempt to resolve to Facebook. They also wont block any software dependency library that you install without properly checking if it's got some social media tracking engine built in.
I don't even waste time or cpu cycles with browser based blocking applications. Steven Black's[1] maintained hosts files are the best for blocking adware, malware, fakenews, gambling , porn and social media outlets.
