I understand https blocking is an unresolved problem at the moment for the reason you stated. It is also bad practice as it serves mixed content. http and https on the same page ought to be blocked. Who am I to trust with https served ads?
Fck this. We'll get to that when things get worse.
One area I am looking into is to force the iPad to always show desktop pages. That involves dynamically rewriting URI / URL or UserAgent on the router for a set of IPs or MAC-Adresses. I hope to solve this as I see no reason to be served a mobile site an a device as the iPad. Some Apps allow you to set the UserAgent. However, this does not work with the in-App browser provided by Apple. I have made some progress with privoxy. If I get this to work this could also be a candidate for a better adblocking.
