If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

i know this is extremely unlikely to happen, but imagine if both mozilla and google decides to remove adblock extensions in every way, if that happens, would you still pirate?

Some people might say about *arr aplications, but imo that wouldnt work, simply because without adblocks, the trackers would do something to stop it.

There will always be adblock in some form, it can't be removed.

But even if it somehow happened, I don't see how that would affect my pirating. Sure, some torrent sites might be a bit harder to navigate, but that's just an inconvenience.

They can remove adblocks all they want.

Private DNS will still exist, there's at least two that have noads DNS, Mullvad and LibreDNS.

They work in most browser's/devices etc.

And if, a browser will be forked that can still use the extension interface.

That doesn't work if the ad is served from the same server as the website

I believe Proton also has the ability to block ads via DNS.
