Adblockers have their limits, too. Some news providers take images embedded in the article and ads from the same server, making the two rather hard to distinguish. You either end up with false positives or false negatives. Quite a few pages will not show you anything if they detect your adblocker, too. And don’t even get me started on all those scandals in which certain adblockers have been shown not to block ads because they were paid to do so... I don’t see adblockers as the answer. Also because the consumer-provider interaction should not feel like an arms race but as a trade at the end of which both sides should be happy.
