WASM is designed to implement stuff that are computationally expensive. The typical junk you want to remove is not. If somehow WASM is used to protect this junk from you filtering it, this is probably done deliberately. WebDesigners can always find ways to bother you, but you can always punish them by not visiting their website anymore.

If I am the only one punishing them out of millions of views it won't have any effect. I haven't bought an IPhone but it hasn't forced Apple to make a device I want to buy.

"Punish them" was not quite appropriate an expression indeed. Anyway, why should it bother you that Apple exists and continues to sell phones?
