Time to switch to uBlock Lite or another ad blocker.

    I stopped using adblockers and simply set my operating system to use Mullvad’s DNS over HTTPS/TLS. It doesn’t have all the other ublock features, but all ads are blocked in all browsers.

      The big problem with DNS-based ad-blocking is that it doesn’t prevent redirects. Sure, you’ll get redirected to a harmless blank page, but then you need to go back to the previous page. You don’t have that issue with uBlock.

        Yes, that happens when I click affiliate links. Blank page and then I go back.

          Also doesn’t do cosmetic filtering - like, it would remove the ad, but not the HTML box that used to contain it.
