The terms that are presented and (quasi-)enforced by the javascript returned with that 200 OK.
"This site is not supported on browsers that block ads. Please switch to a different browser or disable your adblocker to proceed"
Those are terms. You can choose to ignore or circumvent them but they're still terms.
- Touche 11y agoFWIW I have no problem with sites doing this. You can participate in ad-blocking arms race if you so desire. I have no obligation to run your JavaScript just because you sent it to me. You can try to make it a requirement and I'll probably just use software to circumvent it. But underlying point is that you have no moral or ethical claim to how people view your content, just as you have no moral or ethical claim that a person cannot rip ads out of a magazine. If you want them to pay for your content, the Open Internet is not the place you should be publishing.
- norea-armozel 11y agoThey're not legally enforceable either. So, you can expect people to disable JS entirely on your site. :3
