Sites that break with ad blockers are built to show ads. They only incidentally show any content, in order to lure users to see the ads. Users with ad blockers have negative value for such sites. Sites that are built to show content but depend on ads to sustain the operation usually show a plea to support the site in a different way (by a donation or something) if they notice that ads are blocked. I find this more honest.

  My bank website doesn't have third party ads anyway.

    It might have third party trackers (Facebook, Google, Twitter, typekit.net whatever that is, etc). It might also have first party trackers of e.g. your mouse and keyboard that you’d rather disable.
