> One issue I've noticed on occasion is that Ad blockers can silently break websites
Unfortunately the same can be said about the ads and their javascript, and with much higher frequency. I got sick of pages that randomly scroll back to the top after you've started to scroll down, or when you go back a page to follow a different link part way down the page. Using an ad blocker on iOS fixed the problem.
Recently I did wonder whether the passage of time might have caused the ad networks to fix their code. I lasted about 10 minutes before I could confirm that nothing had changed and the blocker was reinstated.
