And this kind of entitlement is why everybody hates the web noawadays and is running adblock on everything.

What executes on MY resources is up to ME--not somebody else.

If what you're doing isn't directly helping ME, burn your own resources.

I don't think it's entitlement. Many free/ad-supported websites are running on very thin margins and sharing the computational burden with the client is not an unreasonable ask.
It is indeed unreasonable to expect me to waste my battery life to run your tracking scripts so you can stalk me against my wishes and without my consent.
