There are Adblock lists - like easylist, easyprivacy, someonewhocares, pgl etc (see https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets) for ideas.

The overscripted dataset is not designed to pick up ads its designed to capture javascript calls for known / expected fingerprinting vectors. That said, there may be overlap. Interesting to investigate correlations - what set of scripts would be blocked by these lists and why.
