Will this allow content providers to lock content so that ad blockers can't change the content ?

  No, this is about increasing performance by taking elements out of the slow DOM update cycle

    >> No, this is about increasing performance by taking elements out of the slow DOM update cycle The question was not about the intent of the feature, but a possible use case that may not have been intended. A more specific reason for the "No" could be more informative.

      The doc answers the question, so this kind of reaction boils down to "I don't want to read the doc, I'm not willing to take answers at face value, can you please write a concise summary of the doc that I will take at face value?"

        Yup that is it.

        It was a really short doc and I didn't see it answer this question at all. Where do you see it answering it?

      Interesting idea - though I think any kind of script API can be circumvented by ad blockers pretty easily: They can always inject their own script before anything from the page is executed and manipulate the API functions or replace them with "do nothing" implementations.
