Dealing with interstitial advertisements on mobile devices: What is the best approach for handling zoom?

I am facing a challenge with displaying interstitial ads on mobile sites. Different publishers may have varying viewport settings and initial scales on their mobile sites, making it difficult to ensure that the ad appears correctly on all devices with the same resolution. Even if I can determine the scale of the site, implementing a solution that works seamlessly across different browsers is proving to be quite complex. Opening a new window or redirecting users to a separate URL to display the ad are not viable options for me.

Do you have any recommendations for resolving this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Unfortunately, there has been no response so far :( I've devised a solution that I'd love to get your input on.

After perusing this post and also this one, I've figured out how to adjust viewport properties dynamically. This approach allows me to display ads at scale 1 regardless of the user's zoom or scale settings.

However, the challenge now is how to return to the previous scale once the ad is removed. How do I retain the current scale/zoom level and reinstate it as needed? Simply saving the content isn't sufficient since the user could modify the zoom after loading the page. Appreciate any insights.

EDIT:

This is my proposed plan:

  1. Use querySelector to locate the viewport
  2. If found, store the 'content' data, eliminate the width if present, and insert the CURRENT_WIDTH. If not found, establish a new viewport with only CURRENT_WIDTH as a parameter
  3. Assign new attributes to 'content' as shown below:

viewport.setAttribute('content', 'width=device-width, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no');

  1. Reinstate viewport attributes when required
