Decideability is absolutely not the problem. Subjectivity is a problem - There is no objective definition of an obnoxious ad.

I mean, behaviour of a website may be undecideable. Behaviour over the 5 minutes you're viewing it is. I dont think notions from computability theory are particularly enlightening here.

There is no way to know for sure that the minified JS on a website isn't sending every keystroke you enter into a password field before you click submit, until you run the JS.

Why wouldn’t “deminifying” work? Then you just read the code.
