To the point where the FBI (the one from before when actual adults still ran it) even recommends to use an adblocker now.
I would never have cared about ads if they hadn’t started being targeted and the congregate data sold to government agencies so they can sidestep my rights and not need a warrant to track me.

Yup. Blame Google for that one. They built a trillion dollar empire on collecting data better than anyone else, and using that data to sell extremely targeted ads.
