I think the user should have the right to choose what, and how, content is displayed.
With that being said, I think it is morally dubious for a browser to inject ads. Regardless of the privacy concerns, I don't think anyone should profit at the direct costs of others.
I think your physical comparison fails as it tries to equate a right to something that is moral. And sometimes they are different.
- Lazare 11y ago> I don't think anyone should profit at the direct costs of others. Does this mean it's immoral for me to donate $5 to my favourite ad blocking extension author? After all, the author is now profiting at the expense of the publisher. Similarly, is it immoral for me to sign up for a service which injects additional ads in exchange for a fee, if I so choose? If not, does it become immoral in your eyes for me to also run an ad blocker which blocks the normal ads? Or is it important that the ad injection browser extension be written by a different person than the ad blocking browser extension? Considering that Brave is (I imagine) not turning a profit, does that mean their service is okay until they become profitable, then becomes immoral? > I think your physical comparison fails as it tries to equate a right to something that is moral. And sometimes they are different. I am discussing morality in both cases.
