Well, the definition to me is quite simple: “a non-animating image or line of text that occupies no more than 2% of available space, served directly by the displayed web site domain”. Also, it’s definitely not just advertisers these days that make me go straight for the uBlock Origin settings panel. I’d say on 50% of browsed articles, some obnoxious component halfway down the page auto-plays a VIDEO with SOUND. This isn’t advertising, this is just some web site’s utterly misguided thinking in what a person might want when visiting a written article online over a limited data channel! And yet, “ad”-blocking tools work just as well: select obnoxious element, turn it off. (And you can sort of tell they expect you to do this now, because some of these video players are buried in about 6 layers of HTML components that appear to have no real value other than to make it harder to find the element that actually makes the video go away.)
