I'd not heard of the Alberto knot, but this is basically what people are using as an albright.
Here is a clear video of how to make the knot.

How about calling it an improved Albright ?
That is what it is called in the sal****er fly fishing ( in salty water) world - where I come from. Apologies for the strange edit.
The same naming issue applies to the non slip mono loop aka Kreh loop (and one or two other names too). Regardless of the various names it is a very good knot ! And just for fun; there is now an ‘improved/better' version of that one too !
If you fancy trying out a great knot for joining two lines together google ‘cobranagle'....It is a super complicated (better) version of a huffnagle. I've never even tried to learn how to tie it, despite having it demonstrated to me by it's inventor.

The whipping goes in the wrong direction to the albright, so it's a fair bit different. The albright is great for when the leader knot is on the spool due to the width, but I'm sure it's not quite as strong when tested on braid to mono compared with the Alberto.
I've never heard of the cobrangle knot so I watched an animated video. Your right, there's a lot going on there!
The FG knot is a real slimline and very strong, but not the nicest when it's blowing a gale and pouring down.
My experience of leader knots is from the beach, one thing I've never tried is fly fishing.

I found that the softer and thinner fluoros slip more. Get the right combination and it will never slip
