It sounds like ad blockers need to work on the os level now and not a browser extension. Just block all requests from the machine to the ips.

- fzzzy 8y agoThey’ll just serve the ads from the same ip as the content then, or even embed it right in the same request as the content.
- FridgeSeal 8y agoYou’ll face kickback from ad agencies over that: the third party requests are also used by the agency to track that the impression/click/etc did actually occur and the publishers aren’t just lying about it to boost their numbers.
- fzzzy 8y agoHmm, that's interesting. Makes sense.
- greglindahl 8y agoAdblockers have been around for a long time, and few websites use the workarounds you suggest.
