Once edge workers get cheap enough I wonder how we'll be able to stop ads at all. Everything but the bootstrap page could be randomized per user and all fronted by the same 1st-party website.
Think encrypt the real request needed into the url to the edge worker it de-crypts that payload and does the request. Everything except the content will look identical to the users computer.
