> I think that comment is being unnecessarily negative instead of looking at ways to deal with the problem [...] If ad blocking tools are unable to do this for reasons unrelated to the web bundle spec, that's a separate problem. The Github thread starts with making the spec and adblockers compatible [0]. You seem to be of the opinion that they are, or that their incompatibility is better solved on a different layer. If so, your input would be appreciated at that thread, which is still active. [0] And in response to the push back, explains the incompatibility.

I probably won't because I don't maintain any ad blockers at this time, in my opinion if you really care about this as an attack vector it's better to just block javascript entirely. As I've said before this type of circumvention of ad blockers is not anything new and has been possible for years. The sites that really wanted to mess with your url filtering are already doing it, with or without web bundles.
