yes it will. that's why no ad company has ever sued people blocking ads. it would be a very bad advertising...

That was in Europe, and for "non competition", not breach of contract as I'm suggesting.

Also, "nobody will sue me" does not mean you're doing the legal or moral thing.

It means there is no legal basis to do that. You were asking if those arguments could stand in a court, they already did. So the answer is: YES

1. You said no one will sue because it would be bad PR. There are plenty of reasons not to sue beyond being wrong.

2. When has ignorance of TOS being upheld in court to invalidate a contract with regard to ad blocking?
