Unfortunately no. Certain networks do have a opt-out selection but this would not work because:
1) the opt-out choice relies on the same tracking cookies and stuff which would be blocked by adblockers
2) not every company offers opt-out because its a gray area of regulation, especially across global regions
3) you would have to opt-out of the infinite choices you dont want, just to let in the single one you do
Which brings up a technical challenge- there's a vendor I like who implements targeted ads that follow you around the web. The ads are extremely benign and I would want to permit them- but they are hosted on a platform. How do I permit only certain vendors on an ad platform, without allowing the entire platform...
