Video ads loaded through shared worker
Posted: Wed Nov 02, 2016 8:43 pm
There is a method of loading video ads through shared worker:
1. Vast url is passed to shared worker
2. Shared worker fetches and parses vast xml and finds all media files
3. Loads all media files through xhr to blobs
4. Creates objectURL from blobs
5. Replaces media files urls in xml to object urls
6. Sends back vast xml to front-end player
I've tested this personally and it works.
Is there a way to block it? If not, does Adblock plus team considers doing something about it?
