Not asking for tech support here, just wondering if in theory it would be possible to create a plug-in or even a complete browser that blocks ads in a way that’s impossible to detect. One model that comes to mind is a quarantined / containerized non-blocking virtual browser which queries the web server directly, then the UX filters the content from that container and presents it to the user ad-free. As far as the web server can tell, the containerized browser is just vanilla Chromium.
That’s kind of what I’m trying to conceptualize. The container, which is invisible and silent to the end user, “watches” all of the ads as normal. But the middle layer then sanitizes that container, almost as if it was a standalone webserver, and then presents the sanitized version to the end user.
Basically it would have to be built into the browser.
You go to a website, the AI enhanced ad blocking browser would then watch the website and then reinterpret what it sees to you the end user minus the ads.
Upside, completely infallible assuming that the website itself is visible to the public. Downside, the entire contents of any website you go to could be hallucinated and you could have a completely separate and unique experience from reality by using said browser.
We really haven’t moved all that far from “pictures of spaghetti”, have we.
Considering that was the peak, where are we now
