In my experience, media have the ad blocker blockers – and I just punch out. Maybe the answer is something that, instead of blocking the ads,just accepts them and routes them to the bit bucket?
I use ‘ad block plus’. Sometimes you have to manually add blocking rules, but used skillfully, it works very well. Some sites can sense it and block content, but I find myself going to those sights less and less.
Reminds me of the cold-war of the 55mph speed limit:
– First, the Traffic G*ds gave us Radar Guns.
– Then, the radio engineers gave us Radar Detectors.
– Then, the Traffic G*ds gave us Radar Detector Detectors.
– Then, the radio engineers gave us Radar Detector Detector Detectors.
– Then …
Ultimately, vehicles could become so heavy, they would not go over 55mph anyway …
Similarly, life in the future means that every browser and website will be locked-down so hard, NO data will flow anywhere.

Yup, catch em at the edge. Pfsense + pfBlockerNG works very well for this.

They’re already a thing. Most adblockers have them or can have them installed, though they don’t always work well.
