The Site Engagement Score might be relevant here: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/site-engagement https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/site-en... Presumably a site that is using the dark patterns you've described would have a low SES. Although if you're interacting with the site in order to get past the ads I wonder if that would distort your SES? Then again, if the site is doing annoying things, I'd probably bail quickly, so maybe SES can work after all... Disclosure: I work on Google Web DevRel. I don't know if there's any plans to incorporate SES into this badging initiative. I was just reminded of SES last night because Periodic Background Sync API uses it [1] and it seems relevant to this problem.
