[Suggestion/Discussion] Possible revolutionary ad-blocking idea #863
2 participants
I want to keep the pile of issues tidy and only specific issues will be kept open.
So can we still discuss this here in "closed" or is it done ?
Can I post it some place else ?
ABP has a forum: https://adblockplus.org/forum/index.php
Well, now I am confused.
Are you a developer of ABP as well ?
No, I just pointed to a forum that I know about, you were asking for a forum for your idea. Here it's to file very specific issues.
Here is the thing: if you have an idea, prototype it yourself, make something of out it. Asking others to explore your ideas is not the right thing to do.

Thanks for the advice, I didn't think of it this way.
(Sorry for writing here, but there really is no other place to put this since you have no forum)
So I was thinking and I came to an idea that will be probably impossible(or extremely difficult/resource consuming) to do, but if it worked, it would be a real revolution when it comes to ad blocking.
In short: would it be doable to hide an element without the webpage's javascript noticing it ?
It would work through some kind of separation of current webpage's DOM and the "real" DOM that is avaiable to the browser & extensions. So browser code & extensions could change parameters of a DOM object so that the change is undetectable/invisible to the webpage we are currently browsing.
If it worked, could possibly be revolutionary because it completely obliterates any tries of detecting ad-blocking by anti-adblock scripts. It gives the power back to users (same as ad-blockers did at first, but now more and more webpages have anti-adblocking Javascripts).
