Comment on Any idea what Google are doing? Is this because I dont use Chrome (use Firefox)? I've no adblockers.

Subsequently, the owner of the website also has the right to not serve you parts of a web page. It's a two-way street mate. This argument that a service provider is obligated to give you everything you want without any conditions simply does not stand up to any real scrutiny.

You're absolutely right. I didn't say they don't. But as long as they still do let me access it, I'll keep using an adblocker on their website. Once the spigot gets turned off, I'll move elsewhere.
