That wouldn't solve anything. The moment that gets widespread, what would happen is that the primary site would just start proxying for the ad networks.

- mdominguez 7y agoThis already happens. On one of our web fingerprinting solutions we provided our certificate to the vendor so they could use our domain when we loaded their resource (the fingerprinting code) on our app running on the user's browser (sorry - more of a data, slightly backend dude over here, so maybe networking doesn't even work like I'm describing) and the ad blockers wouldn't block the script execution - even thought the script is NOT an ad
- thefreeman 7y agoSo you work for a financial institution and you provided your private key to a third party company so they can impersonate your server to host fingerprinting code?! That sounds really irresponsible.
- mdominguez 7y agoI wasn't working in a financial institution, no. We did provide some services, but it isn't qualified as a bank. And maybe it wasn't they impersonating our server, but yeah, it was fishy.
- jimbo1qaz 7y agoI think Instart Logic does some sort of ad proxying to bypass uBlock Origin. Normal solution is to install uBlock Origin Extra, easy solution is to disable JavaScript for evil sites.
