Is there any reason Firefox or anyone else can't just draw blank elements over the ads to block them on a separate layer? That way the site still thinks ads are being displayed. Kind of like the browser internal version of cutting out sticky notes and pasting them over your screen to cover the ads.

Firefox could get litigated for ad fraud and these trusted 3rd parties could block firefox from accessing the sites. It won't work.

Time to fly the Jolly Roger and find ways to get entire websites, not just movies and TV shows, off the high seas and past the blockade. Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!

I believe that's the same as uBO's cosmetic filters. They're loaded but not shown..
