>But almost all websites are getting out of control

And they don't care if you're a paying user! I susbcribed to the NYT, paying them fair money every month for a couple of years now, just to be subjected to the same mess regardless. It's infuriating. Why should I even pay for the service when they still bombard me with ads and tracking?!

Yet that's just how all newspapers traditionally operate, you pay for delivery of their advertising platform.

I used to feel that way too, until I got redirected to scam "you won an ipad" sites from mainstream sites I respected. They served me a bad ad, so I blocked and never looked back. Who knows how many times they silently tried to serve me malware?

I use uBlock + privacy badger, so I whitelist some sites on uBlock. That way I will see those ads, but still block trackers
