No need to abstain from anything, we have the technology to fix the websites instead. It's called uBlock Origin.
Here's the deal: websites are rendering and running on our computers, and we alone decide what code runs and what elements show up on screen. If you don't like it, then don't send out web pages for free to any user agent that requests one. All you have to do is return 402 Payment Required.
> you're breaking the agreement that the people hosting what you want to use have to make a living
I don't remember "agreeing" to anything.
> If you know there's a security camera at the bank branch and you don't want to be recorded, you don't go to the bank branch, no normal person would think to put a hood on their head to still go.
Yeah, just opt out of society. Every single bank everywhere has cameras so if you don't like to be tracked just don't go to banks at all.
