Adblocking shuts down browsers by default?
One more detail, since I never was interested in netflix or hulu. But since netflix started to make it harder for so called thugs, I see in iceweasel, firefox, konqueror, qupzilla (did not try Otter or Midori) that any adblocking policy or addon just slams down my browser immediately. Only chrome without any blocking allows me to access youtube or something like streaming media. Are there other users here which may have made recently the same experience? Is this a trend to block users who are protecting their own digital privacy? Clockwork orange bad guys forced to assist ads?
