Re: The (il) legality of blocking ads
said by mers2  : Had the publishers and marketing folks not made ads so in your face and obnoxious they wouldn't be in this position. And that's not even mentioning the malware included in the ads these days. I agree. I'm relatively easy-going. I watch commercials on TV and listen to them on the radio. I'm not the type to edit out commercial on the things I record.
Online ads never really used to bother me, but then they started popping up all over the screen and wouldn't go away even when I clicked on the "x", or were flashing rapidly enough to trigger seizures in epileptics, or started flying across my screen at random times, or filling up the majority of the screen, or popping up whenever my mouse happened to cross a certain word, and I just said enough's enough and started using the software to block them. As far as I'm concerned, the advertisers brought it on themselves by being so aggressive and obnoxious.
