Run a pihole or similar
Your web browser is just one piece of software on your network capable of displaying ads and collecting data
I thought this requires permission to a router. Can you do this say at a dorm or an apartment where internet is provided for you through a portal
Another user commented that you can run Unbound (the technology used by pihole) on your machine.
Even easier, configure your device to use an ad block DNS resolver. Control D has free ones: https://controld.com/free-dns
