Google Tag Manager, the new anti-adblock weapon (2020)

There is a hope this can be blocked with adblockers inspecting payload of requests and blocking based on some generic properties that could be always present in Google Tag Manager requests to proxies. Unless this mechanism has some dedicated Chrome-level support that would disallow inspecting or blocking these requests.

I think modifying some fingerprintable apis to give faked/altered results could be enough, given the global fingerprint is a product of all partial fingerprints. Some extensions already implement that, eg. https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/
