When I see things like this I think of the average user who may not be technically savy enough to implement this type of configuration. If Google blocks things like uBlock origin and ABP, how can we help less tech-savy users have an ad-free experience?

I'd advocate for encouraging adoption of more flexible browsers, if it comes to that. Firefox is far from perfect (see Looking Glass), but for less tech-savvy users it's probably the best option (and you'll get better results than a hosts file or DNS server since the ad blocker can actually fix the page layout and modify elements, too!).
