Not a great analogy.

We all know that HTML is an opt-in language, in that user-agents are designed to render the tags that they support and ignore the ones they don't.

My user-agents do not support ads at all.

Your glasses (or AR goggles) when you walk into the store would correspond to the HTML renderer here.

I can't wait for the day that lightweight sun-glass frames can block real-world ads in real-time. Perhaps replacing them with classical art or even white rectangles.

That sounds great.
