Do you use ad-blockers when browsing online?

I use a pi hole server running unbound. For on the go I vpn into my home network. I pay for YouTube premium.

I guess ads are fine, but unwanted ads are not! I happily watch youtube ads without skipping if they are good and interesting - also never complain about spotify ads as I am getting free music. But I am just scared of those unwanted popups that could install malware - so, use an adblocker.

I use uBlock Origin on my Firefox. I also use the Brave browser which has an inbuilt adblocker. I allow ads on some websites if I trust/like them, e.g. some websites where I get free stuff like comics/mangas. I hate ads that open popup windows and unfortunately there are a lof of those these days, so browsing the internet without an adblocker is quite excruciating.

As a developer, I'm not interested in cookies, trackers, pixels, ad creatives, etc. I only look at them when I have to work on a specific feature related to advertising display. However, if its a product I'm interested in and I happen to see an ad, I'll click through to at least see how they are approaching selling that thing to me.
