I wish someone made a virus which installed tons of anti-adware programs and plugins on target machines. Imagine - every single PC with adblock loaded with rules, wouldn't that be cool :) .

inb4: "but ads fund free open web" - I can live with paying subscription for every single site I really want to visit (even huge subscriptions if the site is that good). There are very few of those. AND many "free open" sites do not have ads even now.

Not everyone is rich enough to pay a "huge subscription" to every website they want to visit. In fact many of those who could benefit most from the information on the web are people without much monetary resources (developing countries , students etc)

Yeah, I know this argument - if ads are removed that EVERYTHING would be soo expensive and children in Africa are dying etc. etc. World is not black and white.

And by the way, please define "rich" and "rich enough".
