#3We do that but Ad-blockers block even those ads. We have our own text-based adds like Google Adsense text ads which are just tags and those get filtered out as well.

Really? How does content in tags not get filtered out as well, or does it?

The filter list will block the div by id, class, or by its position among some other containing element.

OP probably means major publishers who can solicit advertisers more directly.

I work hard to block all ads, including those. It's super helpful if you can provide an HTML class to your divs so I can more easily block them, but I will keep on working on blocking all ads by all means possible. I'm thinking of building an ad extension that doesn't show the ads but reports to js that the ad is still there, so that websites think that ad is there. It might also help for some cases to download the ad contents but not display them.
I do not think this is any more immoral than you trying to make my computer display things I do not want. If you want my money, just ask for it. Don't tell me via ads to give my money to somone else. Google Contributor is a promising experiment. Bitcoin micropayments are also convenient.

Probably adblockers keep a dictionary of filters for blocking native ads.

I don't block your same-domain ads because my concern about ads is mostly controlling what I am connecting to, and avoiding severe nuisances like sudden popups and stupid flash movies playing loudly out of nowhere.
