The whole point of HTML documents is that the client renders them. I vastly prefer web docs because they reflow to my screen, can be decluttered, styled, etc, over PDFs and the like.<p>If sites with paywalls wanted to distribute encrypted PDFs to their customers that would be one thing. But they&#x27;re using HTML and the whole point of that is that the client renders it. I will always reshape your HTML + requests before I fetch and render it. That&#x27;s how it works. If you don&#x27;t like that, this is not the medium for you to engage me in.<p>Also, ads are grandfathered in, in most people&#x27;s minds, because they happened before our privacy discussions started. But when you consider the insidious tracking and the anti-anti-tracking measures (how is that not hacking?) going on, they&#x27;re a hideous technology. If history was different and you just invented internet ads now you&#x27;d be called a malware author and privacy abuser (of children!). So it&#x27;s time public perception catches up with reality and (tracking-capable) ads die a fiery death.
