Is adblocker legal?

I don't know. I was just wondering because I am not one of much to partake in illegal actions. I can also now smoke weed since it's (partly) legal in some states :3. anywho I was wondering.

Actually, no you can't. It is still a federal crime to use "weed" for medical or recreational purposes. So instead of being prosecuted by the state government, you can be prosecuted by the federal government, and go to federal prison.

does not supercede federal law. Marijuana is still classified as a schedule I narcotic. now, cops are just less likely to bust you for it.

also: to OP. adblock is not illegal. a lot of people don't like it because they don't get paid for displaying their ads, but it's a legal and acceptable tool to protect yourself from fake download buttons, malicious adservers, and flashy lights.

Ok, so weed may not actually kill you, and a lot of people would agree with that. The thing is, it makes you feel OK with doing nothing, and come-on do we really need more people feeling comfortable watching the world go by without acting upon it? It's personal choice, but I choose not to use it.

You're all way off topic.

yeah! we need to be talking about the monsters that block kaker's ads!

If the monsters mash the ads, is it considered an ad-yard smash? XD

If you are using adblock properly, you are able to dictate which websites you want to block/allow and what type of ads you want to block/allow. This allows you to turn off those incessant ads that spam YouTube while at the same time supporting your favorite sites.

Yeah that's what I do. Some websites I don't know how I would ever know what was real and what was an ad without adblock. It's also nasty hitting a site that thinks you REALLY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ONLINE POKER LOOK PLEASE LOOK HERE ARE THREE MORE BROWSER WINDOWS PARTY POKER PARTY POKER local singles fucksite.

I have adblock enabled everywhere except here - Because the ads are pretty unobtrusive, and I have no real reason to block 'em and Bay12 - Because it has no ads.

I put "disable on this page only" on this exact page. Will this also unblock the whole technic forums?

I'm sorry cheap shot, but if I don't block the ads, they cover the user list and other important parts of the forums.

Do you read the forums on a small screen or mobile or something? I know what you're talking about but it doesn't effect anyone on a pc unless they shrink their windows too far. And what I can see it doesn't really cover anything important.

99% of my internet/computer usage is done on an iPad. And the parts the ad covers include the online user list, which I find important. Plus, when I have the ad-blocker off, I get some strange ads. Even video game ads are reaching the point of being borderline pornography. The last thing I need is for someone to look over my shoulder to see an ad with a scantily clad female warrior (something in almost every RPG game these days).

Too true... Did they redefine RPG to something else? Perhaps RPG stands for Random Pornographic Game or something now? Either that or the only way they get players is by trying to make people think their game is something...else.
