I just turn this stuff off for now, the only use I can see for it is unskippable / unblockable ads no matter what neat things are theoretically possible. Soon we'll have "booter" sites which suck their data from who knows where, without the browser being able to intercept and block the baddies.

There is nothing that WASM can do to interfere with adblocking that Javascript can not already do. The reason ads remain blockable is logistics. You want to serve the ads from a different server, if for no other reason than billing.
