Not going to play the false dichotomy game. Publishers need to realize the answer is neither, because the browser is the user-agent, not the publisher-agent, and we get to decide what it does with our computers and our eyes.

I don't have a machine that produces world peace and unicorns. I do have one that blocks all ads and miners, and so does anyone else who wants to.
