I don't get how its illegal -- I don't see any EULA I have to agree to when I load a web page.

The lack of a EULA does not mean you can do whatever you want. The DMCA still applies.

Also, many sites have a tos that governs what you can and cannot do. Regardless, its not illegal for you the user, but for ABP the company. They are profiting from circumventing software.
