      Adapt to what?

      If they’re mixing the content with the ads server side, it’s going to be like trying to extract the flour from the bread loaf.

      I’ve never understood why they haven’t just provided a method of doing this for all their customers. Like a Google Ad service that meshes together everything on the page with the ads server side, so it’s harder to target them client side.

      I mean, the dream is to make the Internet like cable television, isn’t it? Where it’s all one signal/stream. When ads could never be targeted and blocked or skipped unless you recorded and played back later with fast forward. Feels like we’ll get there eventually, with Chromium effectively calling the shots now.

        Google is required by EU law to show what is an ad and what isn’t. Adblockers could somehow detect that and skip forward.
