Has anyone made a plugin that does a DOS on each ad server(s) detected? Then, we have built-in DDOS on the ad servers, if enough users install it.

While the idea is cute you do realize that would have criminal repercussions for people who install said plugin in certain countries.

Not exactly a DoS, but there's a browser extension designed to click on all ads and blur the signal: Ad Nauseam

Good luck getting that past the Chrome Web Store censors. I doubt even Mozilla would accept it.
