No. (Not yet. <g>) I trust EFF (Privacy Badger & HTTPS Everywhere)
Another advantage of using ad blockers and tracker blockers ... web pages load a lot faster.
The disadvantage is that some web sites refuse service to customers running ad & tracker blocking technology. (Conde Nast, Forbes, etc.)
You can usually find a way around that kind of block (meaning an alternate site for the same information).
I run VMs as well so I can access a suspect site from a throw away VM instance if I absolutely have to.
