Until websites are served and executed as binaries, none of these puny measures are gonna be really effective.

But that'll never happen, due to a myriad of reasons.

I was able to navigate the bild.de site just fine with an ad-blocker and NoScript. It looks like their countermeasures rely on JavaScript to work.
