Nothing wrong with simplicity 
I’d like to pare down my lists somewhat. But personally I find the internet much more bearable with the “annoyances” list enabled, this isn’t really a privacy thing for the most part, just a cleaner less cluttered browsing experience.
If you’d like just a little strong protection (without the burden/effort that comes with using “medium” or “hard” mode) the “enhanced easy mode” is a nice middleground that is quite “low cost” (low cost in terms of it doesn’t require extra effort on your part, and it rarely breaks things).
Essentially ‘enhanced easy mode’ is the same as uBO in its default configuration with a few small tweaks. (1) you also block 3rd party iFrames, and (2) you optionally add a short blacklist of frequent privacy violators to your dynamic filters
