There's no cat and mouse. IP filtering is trivial. Say Verizon has 50M IPs, and let's pretend each is a /22. That's 50K * 22-bit entries, but we'll be inefficient and round to 4 bytes. That's a 200KB lookup table. BFD, and that's an inefficient estimate.
HTTP is a terrible text-based format that's very inefficient to parse. The overheard of another IP lookup per request is negligible.
Your heart's in the right place, but your technical proposal simply doesn't accomplish anything.
And, if you could get traction on people installing plugins or whatever, you could just get them to install adblock.
