Right not it is not hard to write an adblocker, just block network requests and DOM elements (regardless of whom hosts of proxies them).
A browser in a browser would make blocking dom as hard as attaching a debugger and manipulating a price that has been hardened.
Network requests may still be able to be blocked, but it is going to make ad blocking harder.

- Intralexical 3y agoI can't wait until this Browser-on-JS/WASM-on-Canvas loads an IFrame from a site that also has its own Browser-on-JS/WASM-on-Canvas. Hell, the inner IFrame is probably going to get around IFrame recursion and domain rules too. We're going to eventually end up with IFrame fork bombs, and IFrame topologies that cannot be meaningfully mapped to Euclidean space (amongst all the other privacy, user control, etc. concerns, of course).
