There are other ways to block ads besides this one solution. The web ad delivery mechanism is brittle.
But when will this game end?
Advertisers should just pay consumers (users). Why bother with a middleman?
Request for Project (RFP): Let all users sign up to be paid by advertisers. (This is not a new idea.) Sign up with enough advertisers and one can have "universal basic income".
Users should not be giving away their time for free. Every time a web advertiser distracts a user, they are "stealing" the user's time.
Advertisers pay for this privilege. But they do not pay the users. They pay off someone -- you know who -- to help them steal users' time.
Just pay the damn users. Enough of this silly game.
Added benefit: It would open up the search engine market and social networking (photo database) market to competition and innovation.
