but how do you know it is web server extention? More often it is something
embedded in the web page that is doing the job, which was put there
deliberately by the web page owner.

Look, it is about who takes the responsibility. In your words some third
party without the knowledge of web site owner alters the content, which IMO
is not correct.

I can understand that is has become a plague during last decade or so, but
as it was explained everyone wants to see cache, so all in the chain know
what is going on and caching on it.

The fact that the content comes via SSL to you means no one is altering it
between you and the server and it means (presumably the server is not
compromised) you see exactly what the web site owner wanted you to see
including the tons of advertisement that no one knows where is coming from.
