I think the standard is that you can use the tools and options available to you to open in a new tab or window. If none of those are usable for you I'd have a hard time believing you can find the option you want buried in a settings menu.

Right click> select option works too. You have plenty of options that will already work for you. Just because you don't like them doesn't make it not accessible.

Nice enough to be considerate of the low level employees who only have jobs because the company they work for has ads on their site.

Did you cut all the advertisements out of magazines and newspapers before reading them?

What about the billboards on the side of the road?

You are not entitled to their hosting or their content. They provide them to you in exchange for ad revenue they receive from showing them to you. You're refusing to engage in the exchange.

If you're blocking them all how do you know how obtrusive or obnoxious they are?

Secondarily, why do you think that is? Have they gotten more or less instant since ad blockers have been an option?

I'm not at all against ad blockers. I've got a Pi-hole myself. I just think blocking every ad ever is doing a lot more for the problem than it is to help

If you have so little attention to spare that an ad along side or even within content is too far for you how did you find the time to comment?

Good on you for looking for free options. On the other hand that furthers the question about how much attention would really cost you...
