alt Hacker NewsHoping this pushes a new generation of adblockers, but I'm skeptical it'll stay a fair fight. The next wave of ads will likely be far subtler than today's web ads - more integrated into content, harder to detect, and easier to normalize.

I don’t think there's enough compute available to parse everything shown on screen at all times. Those "full day batteries" would die pretty quickly.

We'll hopefully (?) end up with a local llm-layer that filters ads within our browser.
I imagine we'll have a chrome extension that recognizes unwanted content and removes the text.
Maybe it's just my pessimism, but why am I imagining the ads given by LLM will make them turn to be like they're salespeople trying to meet their sales quotas?
