Honestly, if all third party scripts are blocked, the ad networks will just start making their participant sites serve the javascript direct and/or run local applications to proxy the data back to them. And unfortunately most management will force the changes through, because they want in on that ad revenue gravy train.

This is much harder to do, especially in larger enterprises where changes can take months. This includes updates and bug fixes.

If this is where we push the industry, it will be a huge win for users.

I'm willing to bet that IF this happens it'll amount to a lot of companies just including something like this on every page:

    <?PHP echo(file_get_contents("http://google.com/nefarious_crap.html")); ?>

Correct, one method is via a subdomain to serve the 3rd party through. Bummer is when it’s mixed with data so blocking it isn’t as straight forward.
