I'm not sure, ublock origin seems to work just fine.

Iā€™m genuinely shocked that there are people out there that view ads. Between ublock and pihole depending on location I can barely think of the last ads I saw.

It's using apps on a non local connection that gets me.

You can still catch most of them using a blocking DNS service like dns.adguard.com but still some get through.

Ublock isn't going to block these ads. These ads are those little emails with the ad tag in your Social and Promotions tab, not banner ads or popups.

ok, I checked and I don't have any, but I don't live in the US.

Interesting. I didn't think there would be a difference.
