It’s only censorship if you stop other people reading/consuming the censored content.

Choosing to block ads is more like choosing to not read a book. Or skipping a boring chapter to get to the action.

Well you didn't write the filter lists yourself.

It's kind of like someone creating a list of bad books, and you looking avoiding reading any books on that list.

You choose to use the filter lists though. That's what makes it not censorship.
