If Slimjet blocks all adds why AdBlockPlus?
And I use ReminderFox. I’m going to try Slimjet for a bit. Need to get ReminderFox hooked up to it if possible.

Because ABP has options, such as being to pick certain graphic elements to be blocked, the the Slimjet blocker doesn't offer.

For example, some websites have a page header that's way too intrusive and extends way too far down the screen. With ABP, I can choose the header to be blocked and it disappears. Or, I can click on the Reader View add-on and it instantly strips most of the CSS and JavaScript crap from web pages. Stops autostart video and audio too.

The two blockers co-exist fine.
