The fight can be won if you block 3rd party JavaScript. Just install uMatrix and enjoy browsing the web in half the time it takes without it. No ads, no trackers, no Facebook widgets, just the web we learn to love. Sanity.
uMatrix is a must have add-on and nothing else comes close to matching its functionality. It pairs well with uBlock Origin (same dev). Add-ons like Decentraleyes is also good as it prevents persistent tracking from shared web libraries, like Google ajax, that everyone seems to use... it's free and widely available for a reason.
Google is also working to update Chrome APIs that will cripple privacy centric add-ons and those that allow ad-blocking, like uMatrix and uBlock origin soon, so enjoy it all while it lasts.
It’s native in a number of browsers but quite hidden these days. Set your JS security settings to (ah I’m making this up as I don’t have the browser window in front of me) “Prompt” or “Allow (Per Site)” or “Blocked” - https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/12654?hl=en
Then in browsers like Chrome, click the site icon, SSL icon, or little plugin icon in the address bar — some icon usually appears, which when clicked gives access to enable/disable blocked content for this site.
