If you don’t want to see ads, pay for the services or use services that do not force you to download unwanted data (ads) on your computer. It’s that simple.

Yes, but my point is: even when you’re a paying customer, companies will still try to track you.

Another example: TV streaming service Molotov won’t work if you block tracking, even though you are subscribed!
