In your first comment, you seemed to be against altering the presentation of websites; you offer a binary choice: go to the site, or do not, based solely on the content. Seemingly advocating that sites should be accepted or rejected whole-cloth with no modification. Yet here, you seem to be just fine with blocking Javascript and cookies, despite the fact that both these technologies are often used as part of ad services to generate revenue.

So which is it?



I'm not against altering the presentation of websites at all; I use Ghostery myself (plus Greasemonkey etc.). I just think it's dishonest to pretend that this has anything to do with rights violations.
