Defeat ads via DNS before involving your browser: https://pi-hole.net/ I've been using it for a few months now. Knowing my TVs are no longer sending logs to Samsung is very gratifying. I discovered a forgotten Jenkins install that was hitting Github every 5 minutes.. oops :( I've only had to white-list two URLs for my kid so far.
