If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate? angielski

@XeryBlox most people who pirate a lot have automated setups that auto download every. The software stack that's commonly used is *Arr.

Sonarr for TV, Radarr for movies and lidarr for music.

There are also no ads when you go to the trackers directly via the API. Same for usenet indexers

It would just bring back street crime and physical boosting and robbery. Same thing for blocking porn… all the creepy 70/80/90s shit would come back…

I really hate ads, too. But I don’t think I would be turning to street crime because of them.

Idk I guess I mean like boosted vendors. In 90s and early 00 I used to go to expos or even certain street vendors and they would have boosted or ripped movies and software.

And in terms of porn I mean sex spots scattered around cities and towns.

But why would this happen because of ads?

I don’t see this direct link between adblockers and being able to pirate stuff.

Many of us was already a pirate before Mozilla, Google and adblocks were created.

yes, if pirating were more of a pain in the ass because of ads, I would still do it.

Not much of a pirate, but I do like blocking ads. In that situation, here are some browsers I believe would still have ad blocking capabilities.

Firefox-based browsers:

• Librewolf (privacy-focused; comes with uBlock Origin)
• Tor (don't know much about it, but it probably would have ad blocking still)

Chromium-based:

• Vivaldi (it appears they have built-in ad blocking; closed source though)
• Bromite (mobile; not sure if still continued)
