More research is required to find a form of basic compassion that allows dominant advertising business models to exist.

Many browser developer tools allow viewing a page’s media; for example, the Network Inspector allows rendering the body of an individual request. A request for an image inside a spoiler should not unnecessarily bypass this. Browsers with such features shouldn’t ship spoiler support until a developer-tools toggle for “show spoiler contents” is ready. Should this also apply to spoiler text?

I think if a user is going to inspect element a webpage, they kinda have already waived their right to not get so surprised by secrets. This just seems like more unnecessary complexity for browsers for little gain.
