If the only websites that we essentially have to utilize as competent citizens are public ones then it would be easy. We regulate the public ones and we let the private ones do whatever they want. At that point I think a bunch of people on this site will probably be content quitting the internet heh :). The problem is that it's not that simple. As I said, for things like banks/job search, these are private entities and not public ones. Going down that line, we can find some private services that a majority of the population around you uses that you also have to use in order to keep up with everyone else because there are little alternatives (google maps comes to mind). Granted, the latter is a weaker example, but it's meant to explore how practical it is to completely ditch services that are anti-user. Also don't get me wrong.. I'll probably be one to turn off my blocker to access some service that will provide me value even if I'm already paying for it. However, it's just a terrible state to be in.
