DeepSpeech
DeepSpeech is an open source embedded (offline, on-device) speech-to-text engine which can run in real time on devices ranging from a Raspberry Pi 4 to high power GPU servers.
Unfortunately, only Chrome supports the technology required to provide this feature (for now). Firefox is working to include it in the browser, but it is a complex feature that requires a lot of development. Mozilla (the company who developed Firefox) actually have a tool called DeepSpeech to use speech-to-text dictation without using the Internet. I don't know if it will help you, but I've done what I could :'(

Your intuition is correct! Adblocking tools already exist for situations where an extension can't be used, such as macOS Safari (which has poor extension support) having AdGuard (an installable app), as well as Pi-hole which can block ads network-wide, even ones that show up on a smart TV, but requires configuration on your router. However, with browsers, ads and tracking are so ingrained into websites that a good ad- and tracking blocker (uBlock Origin) and a willing browser (Firefox) can do more than something that just indiscriminately filters DNS requests like Pi-hole.
