The Brotherhood of the Ad Blockers
&gt; Only a few years ago, even people who hated ads saw ad-blocking software as akin to stealing.<p>I&#x27;ve been using ad blockers and NoScript plugins for longer than I can remember. Before that I was using &#x2F;etc&#x2F;hosts file based blocking. I&#x27;ve never felt like I was stealing nor do I know anyone that feels that way.<p>On the contrary, I&#x27;ve always felt that content to display, and in particular code to execute, on my device is my decision and mine alone.
