I'm not sure, but is IPFS capable of solving the issue?

The gateways would similarly not be thrilled about it.

I would add a redirect to the makers of the browsers in question (so that the leechers got to deal with the traffic themselves; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inline_linking)

No, the issue is with a misbehaving client program accessing a specific HTTP URL.

Yes. But client must be native IPFS, not relying on gateway...
