Well, I'm sure that it would not be impossible:
- ads are the changing part of a webpage, so they can be identified
- ads could be collaboratively removed, by allowing the user to select the ad, then send its fingerprint to a central entity, so that others can benefit
- AI techniques could be used to identify and remove ads.
