Then I think it's only fair for you to completely stop using ad-supported sites and services, right away.

(Which will also mean that Firefox's treatment of ads will not affect you.)

What do you mean you don't want to sleep with me? It's a date! I paid for dinner!

- advertisers

"It's not stealing, I'm just freely accessing your paid content"

- users

"Officer, arrest this man! He had the gall to show up at my site and only consume some of the content I tried to shove into his face!"

They can always refuse to serve me anything. That's equally fair.

It's actually: you say you want to live in a world where there are no ads, and therefore no ad-supported content. Well, with a little self-restraint you can live in that world right now. What, you don't like that world after all?
