Yeah - I usually watch the network tab in debugging tools to figure out whats being blocked, then whitelist and try again.

I am someone who is very aggressively anti-ad.

Sure, if you’re accessing it in your web browser. But when it’s an app on someone else’s phone that’s misbehaving, that’s where I throw in the towel. It’s not worth the effort at that point.
