This is grounded in the assertion that a website’s HTML/CSS is a protected computer program that an ad blocker intervenes in the in-memory execution structures (DOM, CSSOM, rendering tree), this constituting unlawful reproduction and modification.

Dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever heard of.

Will they make Reader More in browsers illegal, too?

What about “dark mode” or “resize font” when the website doesn’t offer those accessibility features?

Will they make the “mute” function on browser tabs illegal, since it modifies the website author’s intention to play audio upon page load?

I will continue to block ads, spyware, trackers, unwanted elements, popups, and social media links, “illegal” or not.
