I’m out if touch with HTML & CSS, and I use something like umatrix instead of an ad blocker so I’m curious...
How is it that the entire web isn’t already obfuscated to make this as thorny as possible? If we’re passing our JS through minifiers, why aren’t we doing similar to HTML such that element IDs are randomized/hashed every time the page is generated?
It's been happening for a while, but it makes it harder for developers to debug their sites. We'll see full minification of css soon, but of course we'll probably also see machine learning systems for blocking ads, too.
