- ebola1717 11y agoHm, why wasn't this possible before though? seems like something every ad company would have built already, given the presence of ad-blockers, etc.
- na85 11y agoFrom my understanding: if the page as a whole is not obfuscated then irrespective of how much messed-up html and JS you couch the ad in, then the ad blocker can just remove the base element. If the entire page is obfuscated it becomes a more difficult problem.

- angersock 11y agoBut think of the ads! Can't get in the way of that!
- gcb0 11y agonot sure if you were joking, but ads messing up with page is a huge problem, and is in no way solved by this. But the solution already exists for years: http://www.iab.com/guidelines/safeframe/ http://www.iab.com/guidelines/safeframe/ any publisher not using this is not worthy their salt!
