Requests never land
Ad and tracker calls are cut at the network layer with Chrome's declarative rules — nothing renders, nothing phones home.
Chrome extension
Blocks the ads.
Keeps the secret.
Ghostblock kills ad and tracker requests before they leave your browser, then hands the page every signal it uses to sniff out a blocker — so the paywall nag never fires.
Detectors see success
Ad SDK globals are stubbed, bait elements report real 300×250 boxes, and failed fetches resolve as quiet 200s.
Layout stays intact
Slots are hidden, not deleted, so scripts that count or measure their containers still find everything in place.
