The way I view it, I have every right to determine what gets downloaded to my computer and what does not. Ads have proven themselves time and again to be at best worthless and at worst outright harmful, so I block them. I have no ethical dilemma about this. There's already more content available than it is possible for anyone to consume. For the most part, none if it is content that anyone really needs to consume. If one interesting-sounding article is hidden behind a paywall or obnoxious ad, oh well, there's another one a click away that isn't.
