Yeah, with Firefox + uBlock Origin I'm always surprised when I come across an ad. It's like getting a spam email in my Gmail inbox in 2025, a novelty :)
Whatever ads slip through are still quite annoying though (especially autoplaying videos when I disabled it in the browser settings) - I either hide them with reading mode, or Stylus if it's a site I visit repeatedly, or if neither works I just go to another site 🤷♂️
Honestly, at this point the dealbreaking enshittification stuff I bump into is mostly subscription requests and paywalls from the sites themselves. Which, fair enough, people need to get paid and I don't have a particularly good answer to give them about how. I am not watching ads on purpose as a support gesture, though.
Protip: you can also block a lot of those by enabling some "annoyances" blocklists in uBlocks settings.
And while you're there, take a look at all the other blocklists they don't enable by default. You might find something useful to you.
