    Ad blockers are piracy though. Calling something piracy isn’t making any moral judgements

      Not to be an Internet pedant, but technically most definitions of Internet piracy describe it as illegally copying and distributing copyrighted content. Adblockers aren’t doing either, they’re just hiding UI elements and letting you access content your browser has already fetched, right from the original source
