Ad blockers don't even modify websites usually. Many just block web requests to certain domains and addresses. You can't force people to load stuff, that sets a dangerous precedent for protecting against malware. Glad this German court saw reason.

Yep. Even if conventional ad blocker addons get "banned" or Chrome breaks them and forces that on the world, people are just going to block it at the OS or router level.
