Whatever happens on my browser is client side, which is hardware and software I own. I can make what I own do what I want. It's a right.

It's like Google saying that I can't skim a magazine in my home, and that I must read the ads. Google can do what they want server-side, and I'll do what I want client-side.

And as a service provider, they can choose to degrade your experience. It goes both ways.

Yep, they can send me 500s if they want to, too

Technically 400s would be more appropriate here. :)
