      Tips

      • Use free cartoon streaming sites at your own risk. In the United States, watching pirated content via a stream isn't illegal as long as you don't download it, but this may not be the case in all parts of the world. [1]

      • When using free cartoon streaming sites, it's a good idea to use a VPN, adblocker, and antivirus to help keep your identity private and safeguard you from threats. One of the biggest threats on free streaming sites is malicious ads, and an adblocker extension can keep you safe from them.

      • Free streaming sites sometimes have to change their URL due to shutdowns or DMCA takedowns. If the site you like to use has gone down, try Googling it to see if the site has moved to a new URL.
