well, most ad provider let you customize your ad preference I can allow virtual realitity devices ads and "turn off" android apps or food delivery apps however, they will completely ignore those settings if they can't show me an ad for my prefered topics specifically, I live in a very backwater rural town, I've paid a good sum to ship my VR equipment from another state, so it would be nice to see some games I can buy from their store, but of course, because I live in a backwater town and they don't sell vr equipment nearby, they will attempt to show an ad for something I can but locally, and you guessed it, they show me ads for ifood and uber eats, despite me telling them to not show me ads for android apps or food delivery I don't mind the ads per say, but between a major annoyance and no annoyance at all, the choice is obvious and no, I don't want white-list websites on ublock, if I could, I would left all websites show ads, if they were actually interesting to me instead of random junk I can find on the app store

Extensions use filters to block/show content and these filters are based on the URL of the ad and do not and can't filter based on the content of the ad. This would also require to retrieve the ad and analyze its content and decide to hide or show the ad instead of blocking the URL. If you can't (or won't) come up with a filter that only blocks specific URLs and not want to whitelist URLs from the VR game store in case this can be done via the URL then you will have to disable your content blocking extensions for those websites. You can try UBO support to see whether they can up with something that works for you.
