As you noted in the referenced link about detecting hidden content.

How much of the web would we break if an open source browser were customized to not tell if content were hidden when it existed on a filterlist and perhaps even lied?



I see it as only a matter of time until the limited apis provided by the browser will not be enough to block annoying ads.

Firefox is good with adblock plus and NoScript installed but in chrome the apis needed for NoScript to work do not exist and even adblock plus is limited in some ways if I remember correctly. Chrome team is not interested at all in implementing the needed apis either. Firefox will be changing a lot in the future year so the api problem might appear there too.



There's a lot of your posts to skim through. I'm still working on it. Apologies if that suggestion have been mentioned before.
