Ads on desktop browsers are no longer the problem - between ABP and Ghostery one need never see another ad. The mobile device is the new battleground, but the prevalence of "dual-funded" apps (free, ad-supported and pay-for, ad-free) gives me some hope that a sane business model will emerge. Meanwhile I reconfigured bind on my LAN to DNS-spoof roughly 3500 ad-serving domains and redirect them to a logging but otherwise content-free HTTP server (hey, it's OK when my ISP or my government do it to ME, right?). Very interesting just how bad the problem is. I recommend you try it to get a real feel for just how much crap the average page requests behind your back.
