Use a DNS service like NextDNS or Control D and check the activity logs, block as needed. Or as others have said, UBlock has a custom rule creation feature. Use it. You select the elements you want to nuke, preview to see if it's working as intended, if it is click save rule.

Hit F12 for dev tools, go to the network tab and that will show all the network requests being made on that page. You can also use the inspect tool to click on a specific ad and see the code that initiated it.
Look at uBlock's info on the page?
Piholes make this dead easy because you can go through a list of connections and block/unblock suspicious ones until you get the right one.
Without a Pihole I guess some kind of packet inspection? uBlock is pretty in depth tho, it may show you stuff like that and I am just oblivious since I spend more time tuning my Piholes.
RegEx also works wonders, and I'm pretty sure uBlock Origin supports RegEx

Just the browser dev tools is plenty to figure out everything going on.
Seconded, I'm an idiot with networking, but this has worked for me
