An adblocker is part on my security suite on my computer.
Ads can be hijacked to spread malware, and unless the site owner agrees to take both financial and legal liability for the possible dammage caused by their website I will never consider removing my adblocker.
If they agreed to take on the responsibility, I still wouldn’t remove my adblocker, but I would consider it.
Ublock origin does a pretty solid job, I’m always mildly horrified when I have to use a browser without it. Is that really what other people see when they browse the web?
Yes. Average people don’t know what an adblocker is or even that there are different browsers. Let alone know how to install an extension. We’re fucked
I have said it before, and I’ll say it again.

I mean, even CIA recommends the use of an adblocker for personal cybersecurity. And one or two other US agencies too.
The FBI too recommends adblockers as part of general web browsing security.
On top of three letter agencies, basically every cybersecurity expert that publishes a “basic tweaks” article recommends uBlock Origin.
What’s your preferred adblocker?

uBlock Origin is the gold standard, but you need something that supports the full version. Plain Chrome (and most forks) are not good enough.
Firefox, Helium, and/or Orion would be my top picks.
NextDNS + uBlock

This is basically the definition of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Better?

I don’t understand how this serves the purpose of ad blocking.

Ads won’t load if browser literally can’t load em.
Dillo is not a daily driver…but it is occasionally fun to pilot. Breaks on a lot of sites tho…but god damn is it a nice little browser.
uBlock Origin
