I like your style- maybe hard initially but if we could just stop using pages with intrusive ads, firms may finally listen and stop using those ads

If it turns out that this type of DMCA use is legally valid, adblockers could be modified to reject pages that embed URLs that have filed such requests.

So if a particular site uses admiral to protect its ads, it loses traffic.

Why stop at intrusive ads ? Just block everything that features commercial ads.

Though the real issue is not ads per se but the tracking that tags along.

That would be neat as an experiment. Like, see how far you can go and what you can get to with a "total blocker."
