To be blunt if it's served to *my* PC I have every right to do as I wish with the content; the same as if I buy a book, I don't have to read it all, why is it different for a website? I don't have to read the adverts in magazines or newspapers no one considers those "an intrinsic part of [their] content"
No - but they're still there. You flick past them, and they don't annoy you by their very presence, which web ads appear to. You don't insist your newsagent takes a pair of scissors or a bottle of Tipp-Ex to your copy of "Wired" or "Empire" before you buy it, do you? (And, as someone who used to work in print media, I think you'd find that yes, ads *are* considered an intrinsic part of a magazine's content.)
