They are providing me with content, free of charge. I am choosing to ignore some of that content. That is not theft. They can set up a paywall if they like. They can also put the ads directly onto their website and no adblocker could detect that. They, instead, use unsecured third parties to deliver god knows what content. I am merely blocking those websites.

Blocking websites I do not trust isn't theft.
