This is literally the internet nowadays without an adblock

I cannot understand how some people are living with this. It is unbearable
You forgot the endless popups in the 2000s, which led to every browser integrating a popup blocker since then (and which often fail to stop actual malicious popups, no less)
Yes, in these years are a lot of pop ups, pop unders among other crap in some pages, but normally in most pages there was, apart of an ocassinal Banner not much else to justify an adblocker. But nowadays, between ads, clickbaits, cookie consent, adblocker detections and ant-adblocker, paywalls and other shit like these, you need a lot of extensions and scripts if you don't want that the page fills your browser and HD with all kind of PUPs and unwanted scripts, apart of an ad/trackerblocker. It's a cats and mouse game between companies which want to track and profile you with all kind of dirty tricks, and the user and devs continuos searching contrameasures to show them the middle finger.
reminds me of this scene from Idiocracy
Almost, but needs a few tweaks:
Content should be border-to-border in the 2000 panel.
Needs to be 3 lines of content in 2010 and only two lines of content in 2018.
2018 needs a slide-over autoplay video on the bottom-left of the content space.
2018 also needs one of those chatbot popovers in the bottom right of the page
Only in apps from Google Play. Use InVizible Pro from F-Droid
Basically. However, in early 2000, it had popups all over.
