   :blobnotlike: blocking ads is evil grr
   :blobuwu: HTTP is a pull-based medium. it is within the original philosophy of HTTP to selectively pull the data, for example, a device that doesn't support images won't download them. by circumventing ad "blocking", you are spitting in the face of HTTP. a more accurate term would be ad rejection. ads are not "blocked", they are simply not asked for.

      @lynnesbian Doesn't ABP download first and then block? I remember uBlock being accused of something similar years ago.
