Browser based ad blockers are great but Google (who manages the codebase for MOST browsers) has gotten better at keeping ad blockers off of Chrome and other Chromium based browsers.
Long term solutions are things like a piHole or a VPN based ad blocker, but even those can cause issues if their filters are too strict (a bigger issue on something like that as configuration is often handled on another device).
For example, once upon a time the Microsoft website was completely inoperable with some ad blockers because the cdn that sends out their images and the like was also an ad server causing most things on their site to be blocked by apps like ublock origin.
Just wanted to add: Could also do DNS based ad blocking but Ublock Origin, (some) VPNs, and PiHole are awesome!
