I'm not sure what is stopping you from doing that now. You can blacklist domains that serve ads and stop visiting them. Or even better yet, hire someone to write a browser plugin that blocks websites with ads, should be fairly trivial to do. And release the source code so others can benefit.



It's even simpler and I alerady do it - all it takes is to install an ad blocker.


Right, I thought you were principled. My mistake !!
