I'm not OP, but I've stopped using Google products as much as possible, and browse the internet with Firefox and uMatrix. There are very few physical world ads where I live, due to local restrictions. The only ads I see these days are sponsored posts when I open Instagram, and I'm doing that less and less because in my experience 80% of the content on Instagram is either a sponsored post or cheap low-quality recommended posts, and only 20% are the friends that I follow. My point is, it's not impossible to avoid ads these days.
