And you want to make other people feel guilty for skipping ads because it's easy for them to get your experience without paying uber-wealthy corporations, so you try to make out that they stole something? Get off your high horse. Your giving would be far more beneficial if it went to a charity instead of Google.
Nope, for blocking ads. Don't feel bad either, I myself pirated a bunch when I was a teen, for instance. Just intellectual honesty, that's all.
You don't think it's a little hypocritical to call people stealing when they're just skipping ads automatically? You see a huge moral gulf between clicking a button and having a piece of software click the button? You pirated a bunch of stuff when you were a teen and now you're on your moral high horse over someone blocking an ad or 300?
