    • I ask a website for content.
    • The website gives me content and a side of shit.
    • I instruct my intelligent butler to discard the shit and only give me the content I requested.
    • I get only the content I requested.

    If a website wants to run ads that’s fine, I’ll just remove them. If they want to gate their content behind a paywall that’s fine, I’ll just make a determination about whether or not what they offer is worth it.

    Removing ads is not “breaking a website” if anything it’s the exact opposite–restoring a cleaner layout, faster loading, less privacy invasion, and a reduced chance of malware.
