Yes, the proxy browser solution looks like where we're going to end up. If ad vendors insist on absolute control over my DOM? Fine. I'll give them a DOM they can have absolute control over. Only I won't be viewing it.

It amazes me the degree that publishers will go to make sure I see things I don't want to see. Perhaps if they worked more on creating things I wanted to see, they wouldn't have to work so hard at forcing me to see things that I don't want to.
