    In what clown world can blocking client side code be illegal?

    By this same logic antivirus is illegal too.

    I don’t think any living human being with a working brain cell has seen what the true web looks like in decades - raw and unfiltered, with the full gamut of ads, popups, popunders, mailware, nagware… If the Germans are forced to experience this, they’ll be so shocked they’ll probably ignore the law completely.

    I am not blocking ads specifically. I am just blocking potential threats, which may include ads.
