    This is how I feel about ads. If I request an article or video from a website and they send it to me alongside an ad, shouldn’t I just be able to say “no thank you” to the ad and not accept it\block it. The content I asked for was willingly sent to me so it seems hard to claim that it was stolen or pirated.

      Yes that’s exactly why adblockers will always be legal. You cannot be forced to run spyware on your own computer systems (unless the law changes which it might).
