If we're just talking about image based ads it would be easier to simply denylist every image on a page and only render alt-text until the user clicks to reveal it.
Worth noting though that Apple injects ads into the News app, which is just a webview, so it's certainly not them that will do this.
- pavel_lishin 1mo agoI wonder what percentage of images even has meaningful alt-text.
- nemomarx 1mo agoIf it doesn't have alt text it can't have been that important as an image, I guess.
- whywhywhywhy 1mo agoYou're trying to stop ads because they're malicious but you think they'd be honest with their alt text? Ignoring that users care deeply about images so a browser that did this would be considered broken from the get go.
