Not to mention that, as Petie said, ads and such are really only an issue if you're running something unprotected like an old unpatched XP install or something and you're going on shady sites with it.
You've already confirmed that you're not even using Windows anyway so what exactly do you have to be afraid of in terms of malware? I mean, I know Linux isn't immune to malware or anything of course but realistically, in terms of the "target audience" for malware developers, you don't even show up on the radar. The chances of you actually getting hit with anything are so miniscule that all the blockers you have are way overkill.
If you're getting those kinds of issues to the point where the site isn't operating correctly (but you know the site is safe as this one is), just whitelist the site so it works and go about your day.
