My normal internet usage consists of 50% ads, i get more ads on instagram than actual posts so i've started shitposting comments on the ads.

Leave my digital space alone, but since you don't have the decency we have to do it ourselves.

Get a DNS Sinkhole like PiHole or use an adblocking DNS.

For YouTube I can recommend NewPipe (mobile) and FreeTube (desktop).

For everything else I use uBlock.

Edit: I don't have Instagram so I don't know how they serve ads. If they have separate domains for ads they can be blocked using a PiHole, though.

Edge on (android, not sure about iOS) mobile has "Adblock Plus" built in that can be enabled. Sure, I'd rather UBlock Origin like on my pc but when/if that stops working on Edge desktop, I wonder if they'd add a similar built in thing to desktop...
