> My (Indian) landline ISP even writes to http pages, injecting ads for higher tier internet plans

I've now gotten used to pages not opening up due to ad-blockers; I refuse to disable those. It may not be all that bad to shun sites that refuse to display content upon detecting ad-blockers.

And then you have Cloudflare.

Not sure how this is relevant; I'm talking about my ISP modifying my packets to include its own ads. The websites have no hand in this aside from the choice to use http.

While I don't like ads, I personally don't use an adblocker (just Firefox's tracking protection, which still triggers antiadblock).

I've used websites with Cloudflare over Tor. There's a CAPTCHA that takes about 10-20 seconds to solve, and then you can continue browsing the site.
