Eventually it will have to become content extraction. Load the page in the background, load the ad, capture frames from the video window and use some process to detect and remove the frames that show an ad. Take the clean video feed and show it in another interface than the original page. This would also be a countermeasure against direct injection of ads into the content stream.

- jauntywundrkind 3y agoAgreed. Computers are slowly being maimed to the point where we are going to go back to using DVR (digital video recorder, a time shifting device like tivo) but for computers. Also note that so far, most streaming services have succeeded in protecting their high res codecs. KodiTV can play a big variety of services but usually only at 540p (widevine L2?). Tim Berners-Lee overriding the standards bodies and approving Encrypted Media Extensions had the desired effect of keeping the web relevant, of letting all these streaming services spring up, all accessible on the web. Because it afforda the companies enough security to feel like they can do so. It's unclear to me how we build DVRs anew. Do we disassemble a monitor scan-out & record the embedded-Display-Port or lvds or whatever signal, and play that back? The infernalizarion of computing has proceeded apace against humanity.
