ill be in the strong minority here, and it should be opt-in, but if theres no affiliate link, i would be ok with my tiny marketshare browser capturing the extra. less ethical for them to be replacing other peoples affiliate links, but they are also blocking ads ... so, not exactly the most purely ethical product in the world anyway.

What I don't understand is how inserting affiliate links doesn't violate affiliate ToS.

I would much rather just pay the browser maker directly rather than it subtly doing strange things without letting me know.

Ads are hardly an example of an ethical product to begin with, hah.
