Trying to work out why this is a good idea. Please could you explain why?

Pi-hole (or my preference Adguard Home) is great for devices connected to your home network. For your phone, go with Blokada (free) or Adguard (iOS, Android, paid - see Stacksocial for occasional license deals) - that'll cover you at home and out of home.

If lossless and sound quality matter enough, use a portable dac with wired headphones. Otherwise, accept the compromises of using Bluetooth.

If this leads to more men getting their prostate checked, I'm happy with that.

How about using the free browser-based tier of MS Office 365 https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/free-office-online-for-the-web - but with an alt email address for this purpose only?

This is more like anti-vaxxers scamming themselves and others, and the so-called scammers are just providing the required service.

Yep, all up to date. UBO gives me the option to proceed (= show) the dodgy ads. Maybe something to do with my settings that it doesn't block those outright. It's a useful option for when I'm using cashback sites that I can temporarily grant tracking links.

Not quite a screen shot, but the text:

Because of the following filter:

The warnings pop up and hitting proceed shows scammy fake virus scans and such. To make it clear, it's not luckypatchers itself, but the dodgy full screen ads on load.

Ublock Origin kicks up repeated warnings for this.
