Using anything Google on your website without asking for consent before loading it from Google, is in my definition quite sketchy. It may be either uninformed, no conscience, or not properly thinking about the ethics of ones choices, or whatever, but it is definitely not right and not ethical to do so. I am quite happy with regulations coming down on people and especially businesses, who continue to do this.
Many websites that you rely on would not be around if it wasn’t for Google ads.
You think it’s some sort of choice you have between being tracked or not, but it’s not, it’s between having a fairly decentralised internet or not.
And unfortunately with recent google SEO changes almost all small blogs at this point have been wiped out. Googles own properties, Reddit and Quora, and large websites like NYT and CNET are the only websites left in search rankings.
Do you mean a generalized "you", as in general Internet using population, or do you mean me in particular? If the later, I would ask, how you know what websites I personally rely on and perhaps state, which sites you think those are. I am quite far from the norm in that aspect, but maybe there is something I can further cut away.
