An adblocker to end all adblockers?
Let's face it, we all understand the internet runs on ads and most of us don't have a problem with seeing ads on webpages. The issues we have are with those ads that are intrusive or they devour resources, slowing down the websites they're on and possibly the internet at large.
If marketing departments and webmasters were better trained and more vigilant in keeping these nefarious ad campaigns in check we wouldn't need ad blockers. And yet, instead of correcting their own behavior companies have been trying to work around adblockers, making them impotent. And that's the wrong plan of action, in my opinion.
And so, we have adblockers and an ever-evolving game of oneupmanship instead of better code and a better user experience.
