You can still block domains that serve ads.
Also rendering the whole page in a canvas implies forgoing the entire DOM, which leaves behind basics like links, forms, embedded videos, etc. It would also mean getting raw input and drawing+laying out everything yourself instead of letting the browser do it.
- recursive 9y agoThat's all true. But the domain serving the ads might be the same one serving the rest of the content. And if that server is motivated enough to show you that ad, they will do all of the things you mentioned. I've been worried for sometime that this will be the end-game of the ad-blocker wars.
- AboutTheWhisles 9y agoRight, but all that could happen now. Webasm doesn't change anything in that regard.
