anyone who doesnt want a user access a server without paying can refuse to serve the data without use logging in and paying

If they dont want to do that they dont have some sort of inherent human right to force users to experience ads

First of all, you're dumb.
Second, uBlock Origin is open source. Even if it wasn't, anyone can block requests in their browser and make their own extension.
Third, my computer, my choice.

that would require making an ability to arbitrarily block or deny network requests illegal. they can make service completely inaccessible without sign-up and mandatory payment - that is the best case. other option is for them to try and fight adblockers on server side (which is what they been doing for the past 2 decades).
this is ongoing for at least 2 decades now ever since web became more popular and people figured out that it is possible to just block ads. if there was even a slightest chance for something like legal ban to happen - it would already happen since long time.

See >>105808094
If you don't want to mess with the host file of your os here's a smoothbrain retarded solution as alternative to adblocking addons.
>install foxyproxy
>set up a "BlockTheShit" proxy to 0.0.0.0:9999
>enable proxies by pattern
>set BlockTheShit on the domain you want to block the shit of
>use logs to gradually allow shit via regex
A bit tedious but you have to do once per site and then you can even export the configuration (and share it with others).
