Indeed. The brave move would be to firefox to include built-in adblock, but I don't think Mozilla has the cojones.
>Of course we'll have the inevitable guy pop in here and talk up how awesome web tracking is because it helps sites monetize better, but that's all bullshit.
I think if adblocker usage became widespread we would in fact see the death of a lot of websites, but to be perfectly honest I kinda want that to happen because advertising is cancer.
