This is coming. Chrome is implementing a built in ad blocker. Advertisers and content providers can either start getting used to the idea now and get ahead of the trend. Or they can watch their business model suffer and scramble to catch up later.

When their main revenue is ads? Will there be "acceptable ads"?
