- fwn 11y agoI think - if i didn't misunderstood it - the uBlock Origin author came up with something like a resource library for exactly that reason. Sadly I can't find a explainatory page on it right now; a possible resource file is located at: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/master/assets/ublock/resources.txt https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/master/assets/ublock/...
- facetube 11y agoAd blockers could pretty easily fetch resources and just throw them away to work around this, or insert workalike shims if it's happening client-side.
- dylz 11y agoYou'd still have to execute the JS - how do you expect an adblocker to emulate an abusive tracker like http://cdn4.forter.com/script.js?sn=3326ea178bfb http://cdn4.forter.com/script.js?sn=3326ea178bfb (bonus: check out the way it abuses fake sourcemaps to try and hide from devtools, and additionally log with identifying information via a network request if you are trying to debug their scripts)
