Seems to me this functionality could be wrapped up in a web proxy. The proxy can pretend to allow all the ads, and simply drop them on the way to clients. Of course this doesn't deal with the issue of ads soaking up a bunch of bandwidth.
I get tired of installing ad blockers on every machine/device in the house, and on some machines use multiple different browsers -- I'm suffering from blocker installation fatigue.
