Sometimes when I click a link I get to a site I never visited before and I don't know that before having got there. They could have ads, they could not have ad. They could use JS to display even text content, they could not use any JS at all. They could serve malware, they could fingerprint me, they could run some bitcoin miner in the JS they serve. They could be totally honest. I really don't know. In some cases they don't know too.
That's why I'm adblocking everything and I visit sites with NoScript, Self Destructing Cookies, DisableWebRTC among the others. Better safe than sorry.
And about the right to render bits and bytes however I wish, I use Stylish for those few sites that do really wierd things with their layout.
By the way, a browser renders bit and bytes as it wishes, starting from the html file and maybe stopping there or going as far as precaching linked pages.
