If you try to mute a commercial, it just starts over again. If you've muted in anticipation and bring up the volume once the content begins, the ad is served over again. I think they've got us.
Windows 10. My IPad is so old I've stopped trying to do much with it other than reading the WSJ.

I don't even go there anymore. I used my Adblocker to get rid of something. They detected it. If I go there now, the screen is darker, and it won't let me navigate. Screw 'em.

Where is this relevant? Out in the internet but not here? Is this CNBC specifically?

Windows 10. My IPad is so old I've stopped trying to do much with it other than reading the WSJ. I don't see any ads and I don't have any blocking add on. I have been using now for more than a year a browser call BRAVE( download). It's based on the same software, Chromium, as most others...BUT, it blocks ads + other stuff. See ( link). It is installed on all my devices (Laptop, tablet, cell)

That’s my preferred browser as well. Great product BRAVE. Blocks a lot. Rarely run into issues with sites not loading properly. It’s extremely rare but also easy to turn off the blocker if errors occur. Honey is another add on worth installing for lowest price shopping and promo codes.
