Scraping is mostly useful if you&#x27;re trying to get at some structured data or something. (Though you might be thinking of &quot;readability&quot; modes which work by assigning scores to what it thinks is content) For sites like these I figure that using noscript or a headless browser like w3m can suffice. My layperson understanding is that Adblock works at the network level by blocking requests to addresses on its blacklist.
