Nope. My personal preference is uMatrix, but that's an implementation detail. I rarely see an ad, and I didn't see any on this page. Also, I have more or less tuned out Facebook and similar sleaze, and I try to maintain some vigilance concerning anything which begins to unduly attract my attention.

And then I have to wonder: Am I living in a cleanroom? Am I letting my defenses rot? Am I setting myself up for a fall if some day I end up face to face with all the unfiltered gunk out there, presented in some new, insidious manner that I believe myself far too sophisticated to succumb to? Have I - or we - perhaps already succumbed, but do not know it?

Didn't the author of uMatrix stop using it himself in favor of uBlock origin?

No idea. It's certainly still being maintained. Gives you loads of very finegrained control. Not quite clear to me why it's so overshadowed by the good but far less capable uBlock.

I'm pretty sure you let your defenses against invasive advertising rot if you live in your adblocker bubble. You know, pathogens and immune systems and such...
