Also, re: “inline” static images, there could totally be client-side ML-model cosmetic filters that recognize and remove known as images, regardless of how they got to the page. The filter could even just throw a floating rectangle over then, so it wouldn’t even have to understand how they’re made in the DOM. This is the “thermonuclear backup plan” we’ve been expecting to need to pull out for a while now, though advertisers have been lazy about getting sneaky enough to necessitate it.
