I can only speak for us, but it's the smallest weave seen.

This website has embedded txt ads for amazon that defeat the adblocker.
So Fuck interestingnewsclub.blogspot.com All the stories are lame anyway.

I don't see any ads for amazon even listed, because I apparently haven't enabled the precursor with uMatrix yet. By default, I auto-block everything on a new site but CSS, images, and 1st party addresses. Once you click on and enable some page elements, that then unleashes any number of other elements, which are still blocked with my settings. It can be a pain sometimes to do that a bunch of times to get the part of the page you want to work.

A more hands-off approach is to use uBlock Origin. I like to decide for myself what's too sketchy, or what I'm willing to take a chance on, for the tradeoff.

Get one or the other, or at least watch a video about them. You'll probably be shocked by the amount of sketchy stuff sites load onto your device.

*I'll note that in this case, I can read the whole article without allowing anything but the CSS, images, and 1st party address. No ads, trackers, malware, etc.
