uBlock Origin
Finally, an efficient blocker. Easy on CPU and memory. Review note: uBlock Origin is ideally used with Violentmonkey and user script Anti-Adblock Killer Continued (AAK-Cont). "uBlock Origin ("uBO") and uMatrix must be considered incompatible with NoScript." - Raymond Hill, author of uBlock Origin. You can subscribe to GNU IceCat SpyBlock filters “Block all well known privacy trackers: (high risk of web page breakage)” and “Block all third party resources when in private browsing: (high risk of web page breakage in private browsing mode)” through https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Filter-lists-from-around-the-web#external-filter-lists-of-interest. SpyBlock uses filters merged from EasyList, and EasyList is already enabled by default in uBO. However, duplicated filters will be discarded so you can subscribe to anything you want without being concerned about CPU usage. uBlock Origin is an excellent tool to block popunders, currently the only of its kind.
