Revisiting Adblock Circumvention

Abstract

The talk will cover how circumvention differs from publisher responses such as anti-adblocking and whitelisting. It will discuss the differences between different circumvention techniques (cloaking vs. obfuscation techniques). It will go over the state of anti-circumvention and how our work can help reduce human labeling effort to identify sites with successful circumvention.
