uBlock Origin on Firefox has continued to work for me. It doesn’t skip the ad, but it does prevent any ad audio from playing so it’s just dead air til it’s done. It does have the occasional hiccup where it doesn’t resume the music after the ad is done, but it’s rare enough not to bother me.
I do also have a PiHole but I don’t think that’s contributing, as it behaves no different away from my home network.
It’s also just prudence when it comes to the allegiance. If America is going to let a much smaller, less powerful ally get invaded and their idea of a “deal” to end the conflict is to cut off all aid to the ally and give the invaders everything they want, then the allegiance amounts to toilet paper. There’s no sense breaking your back to maintain a relationship with an ally who is going to give you nothing but dishonor and cowardice in your time of need.
