the day is coming - between changing how 3rd party cookies work, how ads are served from the same domain as content itself, to the intended feature-creep of Trusted Computer.. that ublock origin, pihole (which is already a piss poor solution), and other tools are going to be rendered useless.

It's a great tool. But it's days are numbered. A couple more years and mark my words, things like ublock, will be defeated.

If you think that's going to happen, you definitely have never worked with an advertiser or agency.

Most would rather die than trust the content provider with reporting their own statistics.

Good luck with that. ISPs, DMCA people, etc have been saying that for 30 years.
