Blocking ads works better than it used to. I've had third-party cookies blocked for everybody for a decade, and most ads blocked. Years ago, that broke some sites. Now, it doesn't break anything important. I hit the Admiral ad-blocker detector now and then, and go to some competing site that doesn't use Admiral.

You definitely want to block Google Backdoor™, a/k/a Tag Manager, which allows ad vendors to inject Javascript onto the pages of others. This is a known attack vector.[1]
