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 am discussing morality in both cases.
