I'm not a web developer (more like a hobbyist), so I never used tools like Webpack to run 'builds'. Someone recently explained this phenomenon to me when I asked about the nonsensical class names I was seeing on some websites.

I now understand that those machine-generated classes are designed to prevent styling conflicts on modern websites where multiple developers' work may appear on a single page. But with adblockers currently set up to detect cruft via class names, I'm thinking that the clock is ticking on how long these lists remain accurate.
