I don’t know where you live, but i feel like this is more common and insidious than you think. For instance, in the UK Vodafone (or Three, I don’t remember exactly) would break 100s of our sites by injecting js and tracking pixels into the markup.
Now, with behavioural targeting slowly dying, ad tech businesses talking about fingerprinting as valid alternatives, and contextual targeting on the rise, I can guarantee you that the situation is going to get worse.
How insidious would you say that is compared to not being able to use an otherwise capable 7-year-old device to access most "secure" websites across the Web?
