…
> Automatically detect these "1st party" calls to the "proxy" server via the URL parameters sent. Except that these URL parameters will change from one site to another, depending on the library used, the page viewed, etc

Seems like this would be a great case for AI/ML. I say that in half jest.
> Block the IP addresses of these proxy servers.
This seems doable, even with the caveats included in it.
Even if these measures work on some sites and not others, they would be valuable.
Meanwhile, please get your non-tech circle to use ad blockers and/or browsers that support ad blockers on desktops, laptops and mobile. And instruct them that browsers that don’t support ad blockers are from a “be evil corporation”.
