Princeton’s Ad-Blocker May Put an End to the Ad-Blocking Arms Race

I have 0 problem with websites that serve up ads that:

1. Are from their own domain 2. Are not flash/autoplaying video 3. Don't track me/aren't ad tech 4. Actually have something to do with the content

Run a homebrewing site? Great, run ads for stuff to do with that. I'll probably click on them, I am looking up homebrewing info! Run a homebrewing site that serves me ads for refrigerators, because I looked at one on Amazon three weeks ago? That's creepy, and that's getting blocked. Same with pop ups pop unders etc.

Advertisers seem to be moving in the same direction - Viacom has reported a lot of wins over the ad-tech insanity.

Apart from duckduckgo, can you share some examples of such websites ?
