Click the hamburger (3 vertical lines) in the top right corner of the screen I found it humorous that they simply call it 'the hamburger', and that they confused vertical with horizontal.

That button is really called that but it's odd on a professional site

I've heard "hamburger menu", but never just "the hamburger".

I am not fully sure about this, but it might be against the GDPR? From what I understand you aren't allowed to block someone if they opt out of non-essential stuff. However the GDPR hasn't been tried on anything like this yet, so it'll be interesting to watch in the future, but I am not expecting anything soon.

CBS All Access is US-only AFAIK, so I don't think GDPR is a problem for them

US and just launched in Canada too.

What law would they be breaking exactly?

Please - go file a GDPR complaint

Well this is a brilliant way of shifting people to PopcornTime. What exactly are they tracking that Firefox is interfering with?

Yes indeed. There era of entitlement is upon us - "unless CBS gives away all their free content without tracking and monetizing me, I'll illegally pirate their content - because in 2018 I'm entitled to CBS content without frills"

Another user CBS won't miss, I guess

Another dying legacy network that few people will remeber.

Funny how you let Amazon & Netflix track the fuck out of you, while paying them a prime membership or shopping on their website.

This means that anti-tracking measures are working. This is good news.

Indeed. People need to understand that blocking ads will harm the industry and doom the economy. I’d go as far as banning ad-block users completely from my website.
