- krapp 10y agoThat will only be unblockable until someone submits a filter for it, and then every ad blocker will block it.
- dividuum 10y agoNot only that, but that exact example is already blocked by default in Easylist by this rule: Static filter /ads/ad. found in: EasyList
- ry_ry 10y agoFb could make them heuristically indistinguishable from a wall-post, and some motivated individual would have a plugin that scraped your friends and blocked non-friend content up and running within hours.
- progval 10y agoThen the ad blocker only has to hide all images from the ads/ folder.
- ArchReaper 10y agoThat's not feasible on a large scale. Plus, it's easy to block <domain.com/ads/*> - almost all adblockers allow you to add your own rules.
