If websites want my business they’ll support my browser.
Sure, but that goes both ways, which is the part where you start losing a lot of privacy evangelists and Firefox fans. You are entitled to full control over your device and browsing experience, and sites retain the right to block browsers interfering with ads, trackers, or whatever else the sites use to pay the bills. A lot of people want it both ways and that cannot work at scale.
They can certainly try (and many already do with the anti-adblocking attempts) but I’ve yet to see one succeed. It’s trivially easy to evade nearly all attempts at browser identification, and even trying to detect ad blocking is hard to accomplish.
I’m willing to work with websites to find a way to pay for them. I’m not willing to work with ad companies. Websites that want my business either come up with a way to make money that doesn’t rely on ads or they put up with ad blocking. That’s it, those are the only two options.
