What Hacker News says
7 sourcesI've never had any issues with it. (At least that I'm aware of - I block lots of stuff by default with uMatrix, so I usually assume breakage is due to that.)
In case you're worried that it'll catch incorrect elements via generic selectors or the like, the list is almost entirely site-specific selectors (see [1]). The (much smaller) list of generic selectors can be found at [2].

In UBlock Origin 1.17.4 releasedOne third-party filter list for uBO that I absolutely love is Web Annoyances Ultralist: https://github.com/yourduskquibbles/webannoyances, for unsticking fixed headers, floating boxes, and elements like that.
I also use uBO for injecting my own styles on pages, like adding an absolute timestamp to github: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15743008
In UBlock Origin 1.17.4 releasedPlease check out my project[1] if you hate sticky headers.
