I have it as a separate extension
I'd recommend getting rid of the extension and have a look at he built-in filterlist. Have a look at the screenshot I have shown for you. Does the same thing as the extension. Plus more extensions, can mean a bigger attack surface target as well.

  • Reinstalled W10 Pro 1909, same setup. Disabled SSL scanning, script injection, anti-banner, perform actions automatically and IM AV in KIS 2020.
  • Added Emsisoft Browser Security addon to improve phishing protection since KIS 2020 can't block HTTPS served websites/content when SSL scanning is disabled but realtime AV/AMSI/KSN should catch real malware as soon as the file touches the disk.

PD: System feels as light as it was with F-Secure but now with less or no FPs :ROFLMAO:

I found that the extension was needed to get past the adblocker warning on some sites, tpaste.net being a good example.

Are there UBO settings that I can use that'll let me ditch ND?

With only uBlock Origin and the attached filters enabled I have no problem accessing tpaste.net

No special settings needed.

Without Nano Defender enabled, I still get the anti-adblock message.

I'm using Chromium Edge, if that makes any difference.

Try removing ND completely, next select > "Purge all caches" and then re-check Adblock Warning Removal list.
 
Me to, what are your tracking protection settings in Edge? Mine are on balanced.

Now that you mention it, the only time I ever got such a warning on any website was with Strict tracking protection on Edge. I've disabled it now that I'm back wit µBO and I don't get any.

Edit: And page loading is faster too.

That worked, thank you very much, sir. Always nice to get rid of an unneeded extension.

I'll report back if I see the anti-adblock message again.

Strict, but I think we've solved it. Thanks for the help to you too, Gandalf.
