The most effective ad blocker is choosing not to use websites that display ads. That won't ever change.

Insightful, which search engine do you use? Where do you buy things online? How do you keep in touch with relatives?

If your answers are "Kagi, no online purchases (or reviews), phone calls" sure... But it's not the world we live in

In the context of a discussion about websites becoming binary blobs of WASM code that make it essentially impossible to block ads on, the choice will be to use a site and see adverts or not to use that site. I'm saying that we should make the choice not to use a site that displays ads. It will require some sacrifices (or, more likely in my opinion, spending some money for some subscriptions.)
