Simply "blocker" is... nothing for the usual user who just got aware of ad blockers or doesn't know much about those at all. They search for something which blocks ads - it's a meta key. Blocker sounds negative and is too vague. They could they the extension is a "blocker" for parents to keep their children safe.
If there is anything else which could function as description: "Privacy guard". That's what it does - told in a really human way.

I am being asked to provide a better tile image for Opera store:
I agree with the missing padding, but for words, I just don't know what to do.
I personally dislike "Ad blocker", as ads are just a subset of what need to be blocked in my opinion -- there are the even more important trackers/analytics/data-mining to block, which are not visible unlike ads. I would like the mindset of people to move from "blocking ads" to something more generic -- hence why I refer to uBlock as a "blocker", not an "ad blocker".
Anyway, I am no designer, so if somebody wants to take this one that would be great. The current tile image is checked in at https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/master/doc/img/opera-300x188.png, so ask for a pull request.
I think they want it asap, they offered to have their designer do it, but I would have to check whether it would be released as part of this project (GPLv3)
