Princeton’s Ad-Blocker May Put an End to the Ad-Blocking Arms Race
The article puts a significant emphasis on the idea that bulletproof ad-blocking technology, assuming that's what this turns out to be in practice, will work long-term becuase of legal restrictions imposed by the FTC.  If Google, Facebook, or other multi-billion dollar entities detect an existential threat arising from this or any other technology, rest assured that the laws will change as quickly as is necessary to keep them happy.  Lobbyists will be paid, and donations will be made.  Anti-ad-blocking laws will be introduced, or the FTC's ad identification restrictions will be relaxed.  Ads aren't going anywhere, and neither are advertisers.
