If you run Firefox (or any of the forks), run uBlock Origin. Many ads are malicious. If a site won't open or won't function properly because you're using an ad blocker, leave the site. It really is as simple as that.

A PiHole on the network nay be useful as well.

Provides a DNS service locally, points messages to advertise etc servers into a void.

@Photo55 @cmccullough NextDNS for folks who don’t want to maintain a PiHole.
@skippy I got a 5-year plan for Adguard VPN at a very reasonable price last year, and it included Adguard DNS, which I currently use on my home network with my router and on my mobile devices. It works well so far, but it's not enough without additional browser plug-ins. @Photo55 @cmccullough
