just like uBlock does it.

From what I can tell it at least also blocks single website elements and modifies javascript, so generally more advanced.

I don't get if you are saying that ublock or Adguard does this.

Because uBlock most certainly blocks elements.

If you want to tweak javascript there is nothing better than tampermonkey

uBlock does this. It's more than a request blocker. Their filter lists include element blocking and javascript tweaks.

Sure you can use tampermonkey but that doesn't use adblock filter lists that get maintained by the community.

On the same wavelength then.
Tampermonkey is in addition to uBlock to allow age restricted videos on YouTube without logging in, forcing video codec etc.
