So, for most of the history of advertising, you didn't have a choice. Advertising was a part of someone else's property that would ambush[0] you before you could even ignore it. Internet advertising is an outlier in that it happens on your property. You ask for a web page, the web site sends back the page with a bunch of JavaScript that tries to run an ad auction on your computer, then your browser extensions delete the JavaScript, then another bit of JavaScript sent by the web site detects this and deletes the content, except no because your extension also defeated the antitamper script, except no because the web site legally threatened your ad blocker with billions of dollars in litigation for breaking the "don't rip DVDs" law. I'm not kidding about that, BTW[1][2][3]. There is a silent and ongoing effort by everyone - including ad comp

anies - to appropriate your physical property with their intellectual property[4]. You see, on the totem pole of capitalist legitimacy, physical ownership is actually really weak. There's all sorts of government-granted monopolies that can be traded like property[5], but let you bulldoze lesser ownership over physical objects. You might own your computer, but I own the content, so I own your computer for as long as my content is somewhere on it. Talking about fundamental rights is interesting. Right now, at least in the US, people have a fundamental right to advertise - it's called the 1st Amendment. We can't even have functional campaign contribution laws because SCOTUS demands that billionaires have a god-given right to spend their billions shouting over everyone else in campaign ads. Several other fundamental rights mean you have the right to ignore shouty ads, but you don't have the right to shut the advertisers up. Likewise, the right to refuse ad exposure online is implied by the fact that the website runs on your computer. But other rights - such as the right to control copies of your speech - can negate that same implication. Anyway, this is why I think we should bring back the Boston Strangler[6]. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

In The 'arms race' between YouTube and ad blockers
rococode·Aug 23, 2019
I'm curious, what websites are breaking for you? I use the same (+ Facebook Container) and I rarely notice breakage. PrivacyBadger is the only one that's broken something for me before (image links from a CDN), I can't recall uBlock Origin ever breaking a site for me unless the site has an anti-adblocker. If you're talking about the "please disable your adblocker to continue" messages, you can consider something like Anti Adblock Killer [1] which can help bypass those kinds of blocks. As far as the best setup I think what you have is fairly close to "the best" already without getting more hands-on. You can check out Pi-hole which I've heard is superior, but harder to setup [2].

In Ask HN: What's the best setup for ad blocking and tracker blocking?
bubblethink·Mar 8, 2017
There was this other hn post on latimes.com which wouldn't open with adaway. I have firefox with ublock on the phone, but I rarely use it. So I decided to try it to check if it circumvents it. It doesn't, but there is anti-adblock-killer for those cases. That needs tapermonkey, but tapermonkey doesn't work on mobile. So there's this other workaround based on USI (Script-Manager) for that. After all that, I got anti-ad-block killer to work, but latimes still wouldn't open. I found this open issue https://github.com/reek/anti-adblock-killer/issues/2513, and the proposed workaround finally worked. Just goes to show how difficult it is to block ads on mobile.
