Is this meant to be sarcastic? becaon.js is a perfectly valid name for a JavaScript filename, being forced to name your files something different from their content just to placate ad blockers dodgy blocklists is not right.
Even more not right though, is every developer having to check every blacklist to see if their component name happens to also be used in advertising. Is this really what your suggesting?
Then there's the whole *ad.js blacklist another commenter brought up, this is frankly just a sign of a terrible blocklist.
And new entries that are just as bad get added all the time, so now every developer has to check every blocklist every single day if they want to keep their site running smoothly.
(A happy user of an ad blocker, who is aware that 9 time out of 10, when a site I'm using is broken, it's the ad blockers fault - not the sites)
