@robbienorlyn "Ad-blockers are possible because browsers are open platforms

But if you wanted to add ad-blocking to apps you would commit half a dozen federal crimes. Bypass app DRM? That’s a DMCA 1201 violation, carrying a sentence of five years in prison and a $500,000 fine, for a first offense.

“App” is just a euphemism a web page skinned with enough “IP” to allow either Apple or Google to send you to prison for Felony Contempt of Business Model."
