Not asking for tech support here, just wondering if in theory it would be possible to create a plug-in or even a complete browser that blocks ads in a way that’s impossible to detect. One model that comes to mind is a quarantined / containerized non-blocking virtual browser which queries the web server directly, then the UX filters the content from that container and presents it to the user ad-free. As far as the web server can tell, the containerized browser is just vanilla Chromium.
It doesn’t matter how good your browser is when you can only access content through an app.
That’s the way things are headed, I’m afraid. In a few years you won’t be able to load Facebook, Youtube, Reddit, or Twitter(formally X) from a browser.
Bleak but probably true. Cabin in the woods with a good book is my future.
What do you mean all the woods are “gone”?
An ad-blocking DNS server on your local network should work for apps too, right? (As long as the ads are hosted on known ad servers.)
They do still have to cater to desktop users, so I imagine accessible websites for those platforms will exist for many years to come.
