> Ads on sites like Google and Facebook are perfectly fine by me—I just don't want big, animated ads or (more frequently) broken ones which prevent me from reading content.

Honest question - don't the sidebar ads (on the right) on Facebook look ugly and intrusive to you (more so since they also change often)?

Apart from Facebook tracking, I block ads on Facebook because of these too.

Not at all. I honestly don't even understand how you could think they are.

They're literally just a (static) image and a few lines of text.

Heck, I often even find Facebook ads to be inherently valuable. Most of them are for services I use and like.


They aren't very valuable if you are already using and liking the advertised service.
