But the benefit for Google would be that if they deliver the bundle, they would know that their ads are in there. Heck, they would know everything that is in there.Is this a problem for Google currently?
1. They already get loaded/notified for the ads themselves. Do they have a problem with sites claiming they're serving ads and not doing so? (Wouldn't those sites just not get paid?)
2. They'd be serving this in response to web searches. They've already crawled the web page, or at least some version of it. (Yes, it could be a different version, but given the increasing unpopularity of what's now called "server-side rendering" aka the normal thing back in the CGI days, there's no guarantee even with a bundle that the site as seen by a human matches the same site as seen by Googlebot.)
3. If you are running Google Ads or even Google Analytics, you're evaling JavaScript controlled by Google in the context of your web page. They already have access to every detail of what's happening with your site, down to (if they want) where the user's mouse pointer is. What more information would they have access to by seeing the bundle?
> For example by not allowing plugins to get between reading the bundle and rendering it.
Why could they not do this with normal web pages? Define a Content-Security-Policy: no-extension-modifications header and make up some story about protecting high-value sites from buggy extensions....
