@mapx- this is a soft anti adblock

right, moved

@mapx- would cheersandgears.com##+js(no-fetch-if, googlesyndication) be more elegant of a filter? You current filter would just wipe any inline script in the DOM that has the string fetch in it.

Elegant ? I prefer the filters to be more generic: in this case if "they" will replace googlesyndication by something else you'll have to modify the filter. There is no other fetch in the page for now.

Even if you make it generic, nothing stops them from breaking it. Examples of this are as simple as just setting a global var to window.fetch in another script, and then using that global var in the detection script.

They'll figure out how to break it regardless if it's generic or not. And a very generic filter will only help in causing future breakages.

In all cases they can circumvent it. When it will happen we can try other fixes.
