It wouldn't even need to 'look at the pixels', it would only have to identify the appropriate canvas elements.

- kolme 10y agoI was thinking of canvas elements with no differences between them. Same size, same properties, random id. In such scenario you'd have to "look at the pixels". The contents are programatically rendered and they're not subject to DOM inspecting.
- ArchReaper 10y agoIf it became prevalent enough, then theoretically you could update the *block extensions to identify the javascript (or libraries) that are used to render the ads and nullify them. My guess is that actually implementing this kind of thing would not be worth the cost.
