Is there any way you can make this work for Chrome on iOS?
I don't think Chrome supports extensions on mobile, but Firefox does, so you could try that if you really want an adblocker.

> wipe out data per-request Why would you do that? You are providing a service to the people that is a pure benefit for them and doesn't harm them at all. Why would anyone want to delete such helpful data?
If they don't want a € 10 million fine they have to comply with GDPR, even if no one is going to use it.

A couple of years ago I went to a conference where one of the speakers outlined his company's web page optimization methods. The big one was to delay executing JS until at least the visible page content was loaded, and all JS that actually implemented customer-useful bits. His example page loaded 94 scripts, which he claimed was representative of many pages.
> His example page loaded 94 scripts, which he claimed was representative of many pages. I know this is the norm, but can we just agree that this is insane ? Some sites I go to, I just see the block badge on UBlock Origin ticking up like a Bitcoin price tracker.
Fitting comparison - we can also expect performance degradation similar to Bitcoin's.

The clue here is that even though you’ve been downvoted by multiple people, they’re all too chickenshit to voice their “legitimate” opinion backing the downvote. The only real interpretation here is that, while ethically, you may be correct, you’ve expressed an opinion that “ stealing is wrong ” among members of the thieves guild.
notyourday is insulting the guy based on a supposed lack of "authorization" to speak. That has absolutely zero to do with ethics of the company or the contents of their post.
I work for an analytics company, this will affect my snippet – I don't think it is a big deal, but I'm going to benchmark it on a few sites. From what is described here, it may actually help us. When folks throw tons of tags into their site, we're all competing against each-other as well as the site's own loading – it makes sense to prioritize the site's rendering. I think of this as no more invasive than pre-caching…

An even better approach is to block all ad-serving domains at the DNS layer. If you associate with my home access point and use my DNS cache, you don't get ads period, and you don't have to install an ad blocker or lift a finger.
Can you explain how you do that?
I run a dedicated pfsense machine (old optiplex 755 with an old ssd) I added a nic to it. All network traffic must physically flow through it (1 nic goes to lan 1 goes directly to the cable modem). It's running pfblockerng and DNSBL with a bunch of sources. It's amazing. I can watch youtube videos on my smart tv in the living room streaming with 0 ads.

Yea, not exactly Pi-Hole, but the same concept. dnsmasq running on router, with a big list of ad-serving domains and hosts resolving to 0.0.0.0
Wow, nice and simple. Is that list available in some repository? would like to implement that since I run a dnsmasq bearing router at my home border as well.
# before: 0.0.0.0 evil.biz
# after: address=/evil.biz/0.0.0.0
sed 's#^0\.0\.0\.0[[:space:]]*\([^:]*\)$#address=/\1/0.0.0.0#'
conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d

I 100% agree with what you are saying, but in support of GP, I'm sure they were meaning the spirit of net neutrality (don't shape my request), NOT the legal definition of it.
the browsers requests are your requests
Its a bit naive, because we technical people can switch willy-nilly from one browser to the next, to assume everyone can.

I'm looking forward to the EU regulations kicking in and you having to get consent from everyone ou save data on.
