This way you're missing out on specific js patches for sites with hard to block ads (like YouTube)

That's a special case, which can be solved by buying YouTube premium. For general ad-blocking, the DNS filters work great.

  • What incentives does this enforce in the market? Strangling smaller players and reinforcing the dominant ones.

    • "We understand some users don't want ads so to monetize our product we allow those users to pay and not see ads"

      Your response: "I want to keep my cake and eat it too."

      I have a solution for you, stop using YouTube if you feel so strongly that a video platform should be free to use.

      I'm paraphrasing in the quotes, they aren't real quotes...
