I only ever see online advertising when I’ve installed a new browser and I’m searching for uBlock Origin.

And I have to scroll to find the actual genuine link.

      The four(!) ads I saw were for:

      • a third-party download site purporting to offer uBO Lite (the nerfed Google-friendly version)
      • “Top Four Best Ad Blockers” (which recommends homophobia and crypto-shit browser Brave)
      • “Up to 50% off the best leading ad blockers” (who the fuck pays for an adblocker), and
      • a shady Chinese browser wearing the skin of an old power user browser

      But yours may vary.
