Firefox with Noscript: big sign suggesting I switch Javascript back on.

Terminal with w3m - all text visible including the 'skip to content' accessibility link at the top of each page. Appears to be full text of articles (my German is sadly quite limited).

Yes, I agree, some kind of arms race will no doubt commence.

Yeah, but the adblockers will win in the end.

Worst case: we lose all bandwidth winnings, and have to simulate functioning ads to content distributors.

P.S.: NoScript blocks the Javascript warning for me, unless I allow the bild.de domain. The adblock-blocker only works with NoScript fully disabled. I'm using Firefox with uBlock and NoScript.

True, we can always cut the ad's element out after they render.
