- kllrnohj 11y agoNo, it's the other way around. The bot worked locally (simulating input). Ad blocks interfere with the actions of a remote server.
- oh_sigh 11y agoAd blocking is interfering with the actions of a remote server, for example by blocking the expected transmission of tracking and analytic data.
- nv-vn 11y agoExcept the bot is causing things to be written to the server. The ad blocker is only blocking requests from happening (and those requests occur on the client side, in JavaScript). It's not blocking the transmission from the server's end at all, it's only stopping an event from happening locally.
