If your goal is to get rid of ads, why would you use _anything_ made by an ad company?

  Because some don't mind the text-based ads, but do mind the 10mb+ animated flashing overlay ads with audio that make the internet unusable.

    Doubleclick (owned by Google) serves those too. And there's another component to this: tracking.

    The principal concern is pervasive tracking, not ads.

    Why not just stop using those websites. That's my policy.

  OP was actually somewhat inaccurate when he said "Google's". Intra is actually by Jigsaw, a separate Alphabet subsidiary. The difference is significant as Alphabet companies, though closely tied to Google (e.g. Jigsaw's website is a Google subdomain), are run independently. Perhaps more important is that the project is also open source: https://github.com/Jigsaw-Code/intra https://github.com/Jigsaw-Code/intra

    Run "independently" but financed by ad revenue, since that's where 90% of Google revenue comes from. "You can't make a person understand something if his salary depends on not understanding it".
