Can they? Yes, yes they can. Would they? No, no they wouldn't.

Sounds like your internet connection is flaking out. It costs Newegg nothing to allow someone to browse their website, and statistically the more you browse, the more likely you are to buy something from them.

If you are conducting illegal activity on their web site (go figure..), they will probably block you..

I used to have the same problem using Firefox but using IE would be 100% fine. I'd clean out your old cookies, check your ad blockers, maybe re-install whatever browser you're using. And as others have stated, they want you to look. Unless you're performing some sort of snooping or intrusion there is no reason for them to block you. Much like how malls want you to look inside, even if you don't buy anything now they figure eventually you will buy something or someone you go with will.

I think the govirnmint is trying to sequester you from technology society because they have found you dangerous to the Internets. Check for black cars with big antennas driving by your house.
