Is Firefox with Adblock Illegal, Unethical, or just plain Communism?
Before you read on, spend a minute to take a look at this site using Firefox.
I’ll wait till you get back…
Okay, so the basic theory is that Firefox (and Mozilla Foundation and its Commercial arm, the Mozilla Corporation) allows and endorses an extension named Adblock. Adblock allows users to block ads (or other content) while surfing the web. According to the creators of that site, this is wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong.
It is “no less than stealing,” and a by some astute legal analysis, Firefox is a “Contributory Infringer.” Yes, you heard me: Firefox (with Adblock) is a grave threat to capitalism itself. In fact, FIREFOX === COMMUNISM.
