It is overall better for society to block ads because ad-funded services have bad incentives, and so anything you can do to hurt the business model is a plus.

The specific act of not watching the ad is morally neutral, you can render content sent to your computer however you want or not at all.

This would eliminate most free flows of information. I really doubt that is the "better evil" compared to watching the occasional ad.
