It's an ongoing cat-and-mouse game. This is like the inverse of people using VPNs and proxies to get around filtered Internet, except it's now the server that does the tunneling instead of the client.

Personally, I've found that JS off and all the GA/GTM domains (along with many others) blacklisted is sufficient in daily use; no JS gets rid of most of the crap, and the blocked domains clean up the rest. My goal is not to become completely untrackable (I believe that's next to impossible), but just to stop slow-loading pages full of junk I don't care about (which is what I suspect most people using ad-blockers are aiming for.)
