AdNauseam must be pretty effective. Google not only banned it from the web store but also made it difficult for regular users to install it on Chrome.

The draft of the proposed new standard for ads on the web
The answer is to make ads unprofitable. When someone pays for advertising, they must get no return on their investment. Only then will ads disappear from the web. In order to achieve this, all ads must be blocked automatically and by default, no exceptions must be made, and the blocker software must be pre-installed for all users.
