You are better off using Geizhals instead of Idealo which belongs to Axel Springer that owns the infamous tabloid Bild and is currently trying to make Adblocking illegal in Germany by claiming users are not allowed to alter the HTML because of copyright[1].

- tetris11 1y agoGeizhals/skinflint doesnt have everything though, whereas idealo genuinely does, along with price tracking info
- HardwareLust 1y agoThat argument doesn't hold any water though. How is that any different than buying a book and using a highlighter or making pencil notes in the margin? Or using FF to skip past the FBI warning and the trailers on a video tape?

- arielcostas 1y agoPlus adblocking usually works by blocking network requests, right? Or at most, modifying the DOM itself in the browser, not even the HTML received from the site. And even if it was a "friendly MitM" that altered the HTML before being parsed by the DOM, it would (hopefully) be considered a private copy you're entitled to use however you please (except against the copyright by sharing it, for example)
