1st party ads are not unblockable. They only lack one aspect that helps identify them (the 3rd party hostname). But they still can be dealt with.

One way browsers try to take away that freedom is by limting what extensions can do. If that continues, at one point we would need a new browser to accomplish it.

My favorite vision of the future would be if Debian would provide a version of Chrome or Firefox that: a) is stripped of all tracking and b) gives extensions full access to everything.
