Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'm not talking about a summarizer, I'm talking about a classifier. It just needs to identify which parts of the page are advertising and which are not.
The point of such a tool is that it would read the web page in exactly the same way that a human would, so using trickery like pre-rendered images of text or funky unicode wouldn't really change anything. If a human can read it then so can the AI.
That could be useful, if ads get to the point where removing their elements manually is no longer possible. I don't think that'll happen for a while though, as long as were still using HTML and Javascript which downloads and runs pages locally inside of our browsers.
