Are anti-adblock killers illegal since you are circumventing protection measures to view copyrighted content? Sounds like a DMCA violation.

No, the question you should be asking is
>Should anti-adblock killers be illegal since you are circumventing protection measures to view copyrighted content
The answer is also no.
Kevin Martin
No, the answer he should be asking is
>what's the best anti-adblock firefox extension?
Angel Campbell
>protection measures
not what ads are
Elijah Gutierrez
uBlock Origin with more than the default filters enabled, blocking scripts and using a whitelist, and Violentmonkey with the newer adsbypasser script. If you were wondering
Juan Gomez
No
Xavier Davis

Joshua Gomez

Anti-adblock should be illegal because it is circumventing the protection measures I have to protect myself from malware while viewing content.
Jaxon Peterson
The anti-adblock is. You're stripping the protection against viewing their content without ads. It is a form of DRM. Just because it isn't cryptographically secure doesn't mean it's not DRM.

they are allowing me to connect to their webpage. if they don't want to serve me content without ads then they are welcome to withhold that content until an authorization token has been exchanged
Alexander Phillips
If they want money for their shitty websitey they could just change from ads to payment.
But oh yeah, then they wouldn't make any money.
I'm not even using a special Anti-Adblock Killer, just default block lists, and everything works fine.
So I don't even try to avoid this shit, I just block IP Adresses and Domain Names which are in a relation for Malware and shady businesses, which isn't illegal. And 99% of Ads are related to Malware and shady businesses.
Also, on my phone I pay for my bandwidth, which gets stolen by Ads, so fuck everyone with Ads, you actually cost me money. Especially this autoplay video bullshit.
I avoid brands or companies who do such a bullshit.

adblocks and their ilk just cut out the retarded caps. The secret was always there.

It really shouldn't be.
>buy a blu-ray
>stick it in my drive
>programs refuse to recognize the disk exists in the drive
>the shitty protection causes most applications to lock up simply accessing the drive, including explorer
>makemkv works
If you make it difficult to watch what I purchase I will simply use the easiest method to watch it, which in this case is ripping the disc.
You have lost nothing because I have paid for it and won't share what I rip, yet you will still class it as illegal.
Christopher Martin
No. It's my browser, I have the right to block whatever is impeding my usage.
Justin Ortiz
huh? I don't block ads. just leading them right into my pi-hole.
Liam King
>you are circumventing protection measures to view copyrighted content
This is false.
Ads don't protect content playback.
