If this is about blocking ads, how will this stop people using DNS based ad blocking? Been using control d for awhile and it's been great. Use their DNS on my router and every device in my house is ad free.
Won't work if ads are served on the same domain name as YouTube does. Also I think the website just wouldn't load if you block the domain checking the integrity (which will probably be done on the same domain as the website you attempt to access)
This is to disallow any modifications to the browser. So if the official Google browsers does not allow ad brokers, you cannot change it to allow it again.
Or if the browser would force specific DNS over HTTPS server, you cannot modify the browser to give you choice back in a way you could view that protected site.
The JavaScript sent to the client can check if the resources are loaded.
