You could avoid breaking many sites' TOS _and_ remain free of all/most of
the distracting/annoying bits, by using custom stylesheets. IIRC Toby
Inkster wrote an item about it on his blog once.
(ironically his blog is one of the sites I view unstyled, I am not too
keen on the slanted font. Luckily it degrades well, contrary to many sites
(try google for one)
