I've come close to writing a plugin to help you skip these ads.

a few ublock rules would probably do the job. it's possible to even run premade scriptlets to fix up a website

I looked into uBlock rules. The problem is that you need to click "No" before continuing. Ublock can block the ad, sure, but they can't perform user actions.

Scriptlets may be useful but I think an addon with a library of bypasses (sort of like sponsor block) might be better.

ublock already has part of that library
