Missing the whole point. Companies will not stop serving ads or selling data. Setup custom dns from somewhere like nextdns or a private pihole computer on your network. It works in windows, can get a micro pc from eBay or Amazon for <$150, then block ANYTHING you don't like.
I don't see ads at all anymore at home, in fact it's jarring when a page takes 2x time to load because of ads and shit.
Get these plugins at bare minimum: Ublock origin Sponsorblock Bitwarden or similar (not LastPass) for strong password management.
Stop crying about companies and take some steps to protect yourself.
jfc do not use LastPass. They have a proven track record of shitty security practices and multiple breaches.
1password, bitwarden, keeper, even chrome but not LastPass.
We have also KeePass for a local/non-internet solution
