Why doesn&#x27;t Google et al provide a shim for web servers to proxy ads off their own domains, with the same URI routes as the actual content? That way, an adblocker would also prevent the content from being served. (Why waste your networking load on non-paying customers?)<p>The main obstacle is that this introduces a middleman---so Google et al should only offer this service to the BIG money-makers (like nytimes.com) until they can ship something secure. Adblocking &quot;problem&quot; solved.<p>WHY don&#x27;t Ad companies do this? I can see this as an Apache&#x2F;nginx module or middleware libraries for whatever web server is used, without having to change anything else. How long would this take for the army of 140 IQ Google codemonkeys…like 1 day lol?
