Considering that the web was explicitly architected to allow users to control how they render documents, arguing that adblocking is bad or should be prohibited is exactly as arbitrary and ridiculous as claiming that Google is trying to "steal" my bandwidth by forcing me to download ads. That's literally not how the web works. That's why they had to consolidate a near browser monopoly so they could force this on everybody as a product policy.
