I actually have a subscription in my AdBlock Plus that also kills these "requests". It's called Adblock Warning Removal List.

Can you clarify, does that mean AdBlock Plus kills the http "request" as in your request to go the site is aborted (boo, no content), or the request that you not visit is automatically ignored (yay, free content)?

When you visit a restaurant in a country where tipping is the norm, do you leave a tip?

It's not the same thing, because leaving a tip doesn't cause any privacy or security issues. If all ads were just static images, no scripts/tracking, I wouldn't mind them.

well, there is a closer parallel than you'd think.

Every McDonald's you eat at, has the ability to track your purchases, likes, etc. You are, after all, swiping your card with your name, etc.

Not if I pay cash!
