They already go beyond site-and-domain based blocking. Most Adblock extensions support CSS-based rules that will block based on CSS IDs, class names, div-sizes (468x60 is a common ad size) or more complex rules.
For the sites that can't be blocked with those, there are even more advanced blockers via Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey JS scripts.
- dredmorbius 11y agoI actually remember the _old_ regime of userContent.css with hacks for specific banner sizes and such. I've found a set of rules which are quite helpful at removing / reducing online Web annoyances myself, including killing variants of interstitials, popups, and flyovers. To the extent I'd strongly recommend current Web devs avoid use of those and similar terms in their own CSS. (ProTip: if you're calling an element "nag" or "tease", it probably shouldn't be there in the first place.)
