At this point, it might be worth moving away from Chrome. If you're concerned about blocking ads, using a browser from the world's largest ad company sort of defeats the purpose. Maybe Firefox with uBO or uMatrix?

I am writing this reply in Firefox. However, there are websites that only work in Google Chrome and a bunch of other smaller reasons that I still would like to use Chrome for. In fact, the desktop adblocker could also be used for Firefox as well, which I think would be more performant than an extension-based adblocker.
