Not at all. I use Brave and "shield down" websites that I like and generally keep their ad situation under control (incl. 3rd party). But your point of hosting vs 3rd party is a good one and especially because often one 3rd party connects to another.

Likewise, I "block" annoying parts of websites like Yahoo Fantasy Football's enormous top nav that's not even an ad.
