What URLs I load and choose not to load should always be my absolute whole discretion. And yes I can pick and choose not to load a whole website.

But don't use Adblock Plus, use uBlock. Being the gatekeeper of ads to extort money out of advertisers is still a dick move and a middleman that doesn't need to exist.

uBlock Origin, to be precise!

To expand - uBlock was sold to AdBlock, and so uses the same Acceptable Ads policy. uBlock Origin is a fork made by the original creator of uBlock.
