Is adblocker legal?

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).

Lolwat? I'm using an iPad 2 to post this right now through chrome on it itch iOS 6... Not even rendering any ads ( I actually didn't know u guys had any lol)

Edit: never mind, I see ONE on the very bottom that it extends the page to load lol. Talk about nonobtrusive...

Adblocker is legal as far as I know which is why I don't use it, well it's that and the fact that I really hadn't thought about using it since opera gives me a tiny window for every pop up and the rest of the ads don't really bother me.

There is a ad for a fitness class, maybe the internet is telling me something

I went for a long time without adblock (I just set Opera to block all pop-ups by default and that took care of the majority of annoying ads) but a certain website just pissed me off by having almost the entire page be animated flash ads (except for the content itself), so I finally installed adblock and whitelisted a couple of sites (such as this one!) that weren't bad.

Agreed.
