I agree with you. I think these blockers should be built into the browser themselves in order to eliminate this problem. Sadly, conflicts of interest prevent that. Firefox is funded by Google.

However, I haven't seen an alternative to ads that works for adequately funding content on the /open/ web. I like that most journalism, YouTube, and social media are free for all.
