Move your ad blocking to a different layer. Like say, network level.

You could, but at the very least you'd need to MITM all HTTPS, and that means installing your own CA on all devices
This can be done but it’s not sophisticated enough for many ads. Websites are smart and will smuggle ads through known-good domains that you can’t block. You really need to be able to navigate the dom and use JS heuristics to identify ads and popups.
