Obfuscated JS can be re-hosted as is, and you can probably remove the ads with newly added JS code.

Or just visit the real site and use an ad blocker? Re-hosting it would obviously be copyright infringement.

Ad-blocking breaks the original site. A lot of functionality stops working properly.

Sure, seems only fair that if you can try to block ads, the app can try to detect ad blockers.
