@fuser @Lem0n Regarding articles, I just save them to a read-later app that strips them of all the crap. If the site won't let me, I'll find another source reporting the same information, and save it to read later. If this process ultimately fails without a saved page, I won't read the article.

Right - that's a good approach, however if you're looking for a quick answer to an immediate question by searching using a common search engine, the garbage SEO pages are the most irritating, even with adblocking.
