I have recently more problems with sites, that embedded a little Javascript, which tests if access to these ad farms are blocked and if so, then redirecting to a site on how to enable ads. Currently, I set uBlock Origin to block inline Javascript. But it becomes really messy, as that blocks also valid Javascript for slides show and so on. Not even talking about those site, which essentially work only with Javascript enabled at all.

My response to that is to simply close that tab or hit the back button. If I really care about the content a quick search usually finds it somewhere else. Until very recently I didn't block ads, but after increasing occurrences of "reputable" sites (imgur, I'm looking at you) hosting adverts they auto-play video, try back-door installs, or just chew a significant chunk of CPU when I'm running on battery (not mining coins: just very very poorly written dom animations) I gave in and put pihole on my home network.

Is it possible to return an empty 200 response?

  They're usually not testing if the file loaded, but if the JS responds as it should.

Try Anti-Adblock Killer, it's a greasemonkey script that replaces javascript on malicious sites like that with a fixed version. https://gitlab.com/xuhaiyang1234/AAK-Cont#anti-adblock-killer-continued https://gitlab.com/xuhaiyang1234/AAK-Cont#anti-adblock-kille...

That's the point at which I decide if the site is important for me to look at. If they don't want me reading their site with ads, and go as far as checking this, then I think it's fair enough not to visit, or possibly to enable ads for that domain if you really want to go there.
