Just wait till you get a load of content rendering engines being written in (dynamicly re-obfuscated) web assembly and rendered via canvas, so users are totally locked out of modifying content loaded into them or blocking ads.
This is already being worked on.
Any links to that? What kind of enemies of mankind are working on this? Advertisers again?
It's being fought before it's even fully grown.
Computer vision adblockers are also being worked on.
A sad and stupid zero-sum game wasting both talent and electricity.

Have you heard of Coinhive [1]? They are using WebAssembly to mine bitcoins in the browser.

Can't wait to see how WebAssembly will be used against us.
