Huh? So much for baseless FUD. Ad-blocking is much different than adding an extra header for voluntarily respecting someones privacy. Incase you din't know, blocking ads involve removing the content or terminating connection to the ad-server altogether. No, Microsoft or any big players don't have a reason to or is that stupid to do so.

They have filters for malware sites in many tools which have been blacklisted and require additional steps to get to. They could create an open repository of ad servers curated by users and then a slider - say block most offensive/obstructive ad servers. Reason: Better experience for users. Hidden Motive: Competition with Google and market retention of their premium products. Security for their business model. A click to download ad would itself hit the ad business hard.
