i don't see what makes salafism so different to following a madhab
For example a hanafi follows a hanafi kitaab about salah and it has hadiths compiled therein and the shaykh who has compiled the kitaab has written that these are the most authentic hadith regarding salah.

The salafi follows the prayer book by Shaykh Albaani RH in which he has compiled the hadiths and has said this is the most authentic way

a layman makes taqleed in trusting the scholars opinion of which hadith is sahih and which is not as the science of hadith is not something anyone of us can just go and investigate without extensive study

but when a madhabi follows his shaykh its blind following but when a salafi follows his its not blind following

to me that is like saying..."They eat ice cream, we do not eat ice cream....we eat cream which is frozen...therefore we are different"

Sister you are right. The Ahli Hadiths have their own school and they follow it. Pure "Ghair Muqalidism" will be to send a person who has recently converted to Salafism home with Quran and Kutab e Sitta so that he can extract all the day to day rulings from them , instead of giving him books of Shaykh Albani rahumahullah on Salaat e Nabvi.
However , the issue is that which school is more near to Quran and Hadith and which school has deviated from it. I would suggest you to read "A'alam al-Moq'een" by Imam Ibn Qayyam rahimahullah to understand the issue in depth.The book has been translated into Urdu.
