To paraphrase the words of the lady in the political scene: "keep your filthy hands off my computer."
I will run on my PC whatever I want and you don't dictate it I want to run adblockers or not.
I don't think anyone minds the ads. I think we all mind the tracking, data brokers, and that OUR data and OUR profile are mishandled by a bunch of greedy thugs. So yeah, cat and mouse till the end of time.
I don't know about you/others, but I prefer the thousands of books from Gutenberg (and spend my remaining years reading from the ancients) that having some bunch of a-holes trading what I like and what I won't, without my knowledge of approval.
