I'm not some guest on somebody else's net, where I'm supposed to stay inside a walled garden of bullshit and I need permission to sit down on a chair. And if I'm bored, I'll teach others how to do all that too. The fact that I'm also blocking malware is just icing on the cake. It's not my problem, and I'll ignore it just because I feel like it. I don't care that companies have stupid business models where they try to sell ad space, or try to collect my data to make their ends meet. I don't care about the experience the content provider wants me to have. I reserve the right to pick and choose the fonts, to pick and choose the colours, to pick and choose the pictures, and to pick and choose the bits of content of every web page that's offered to me. l don't need an excuse like "it's malware", I reserve the right to filter out any and all information I don't like. This whole idea that seems to be pervasive on the net that I should find a "legitimate" excuse to block out the commercial crap that ad companies want to stick down my throat is insidious.
