As pointed out in "Remove Spyblock, and do not add any new blocker." (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?49615#comment1)
Gnuzilla's Spyblock filter hompage (http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/filters/) is down at this writing.
If it is down for good, then I vote to remove Spyblock completely.

About Spyblock incognito mode. From the author of GNU IceCat:
The feature is implemented by enabling filter lists that contain
"! Privatemode: true" only if the window is private.
I do that in http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/filters/third-party.txt
which disables any third-party requests from private windows.

What we really need is a add-on for uBlock Origin that enables certain rules in incognito mode.

IceCat author (Rubén Rodríguez) said this long ago (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnuzilla/2016-04/msg00030.html):
"I made the Spyblock hack before uBlock was available (or well known
anyway). It could be replaced, provided that we can implement with
uBlock the same features SpyBlock provides over Adblock: extra lists
that get enabled when entering private mode.
Since Spyblock is providing the desired functionality right now,
replacing it for the sake of performance is not a priority compared with
improving LibreJS, which is what I'll be working on next. But if
somebody wants to contribute that code I'll be happy to add it."

A joint Sourcepoint and comScore survey reported a 833% growth rate over a ten-month tracking period ending in August 2015, the strongest growth of software listed. - http://marketingland.com/heres-a-briefer-about-the-top-ad-blockers-146686

The author of Adblock Edge removed it from addons.mozilla.org in favour of uBlock Origin.
uBlock Origin doesn't have a "Acceptable Ads Whitelist".

A problem that remain in Spyblock 2.6.9.0 since I first pointed out it: "SpyBlock incompatible with Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus" - https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnuzilla/2015-04/msg00014.html
Disclaimer: uBO also has its own Element picker.

Tue 15 Nov 2016 05:36:48 AM UTC, original submission:
I originally this issue in <bug-gnuzilla@gnu.org> at two occasions: "[Bug-gnuzilla] SpyBlock: Build from uBlock Origin instead of Adblock Plus" 20th April 2016 (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnuzilla/2016-04/msg00030.html) and "[Bug-gnuzilla] Build Spyblock from uBlock Origin" 23th September 2016 (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnuzilla/2016-09/msg00006.html)
I asked the author of uBlock Origin if he wanted to implement the unique "private mode" feature in Spyblock to uBlock Origin but he had no interest. - From https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/1576#issuecomment-212549542
