I think this is a great feature of Dillo.  I also use certain adblock 
plug-ins in Firefox (for years, actually).

My thoughts on this are as follows:

I pay for my ADSL connection and access to the Internet.

I run my own website, mail server etc. which is sort of my hobby and free.

Now, if a website needs to derive money to succeed to run, then the 
first page you hit should be this, and nothing more:

THIS SITE HAS ADVERTS THAT FUND OUR CONTENT:

[button]PROCEED?


That way, people can decide if they want so see adverts or not, and just 
bugger off somewhere else if not.

Dillo does it right, IMHO.
