Yeah, I think we need better collaborative filtering and/or ML for ad-blocking. And the browser should always make the website believe that the ads are shown (no altering of the DOM, but instead alter a copy of the DOM).
Yes, but one advantage of blocking ads is not having to get the content. On a slow uplink, such as Tor, that's a major issue.
True. I guess you could load the content from a client running at a central service, and send the stripped-down version to the final client. Of course, you'd have to trust the service.
