Yes but we are not profiting from stealing ad revenue from content creators.

You wouldn't be using a browser to access content, and give them a reason to show you ads.

By that metric is a paid browser with ad blocking a leech? I don't think such a thing would be bad at all.
The ads go in the browser if you decide to turn them on. You can also turn off the ad blocker and have both, if you so desire.
I'm pretty sure having new tab ads and push notification ads does not leech off websites.
Ad blocking by itself is arguably leeching, but that's clearly not your argument if you suggest using other ad blockers.
