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.

    Alternatively, a program that is a wrapper for your entire browser/device, that observes video and audio, to automatically carry out the blanking/muting.

    Ads load as normally, but are never seen or heard by the user.
