The number of ads on this website is crazy. I navigated back immediately. There must be a way to place a single ad more efficiently instead of filling the site with them.

I only see two short gaps between paragraphs labelled "advertisement". I don't use an explicit ad blocker - just NoScript.
I have a personal policy of blocking JavaScript content by default, and only enabling it when I judge that it would have a clear, legitimate purpose (i.e., not "make the article content visible" or "display an image inline with text" etc.). I can't really imagine using the modern Web any other way.

Ars Technica has been on a very long, downward slope for many years. I used to be an avid reader myself, now I actively avoid any links containing their domain.
This will only continue with them and get worse, I definitely suggest diversifying your news sources away from them.

The number of complaints about ads is crazy.
One 'APP' and they're gone, making the web fun again.

To not do so is lazy, and all the rage in vain.
