I understand that very well, I constantly thinker about possible ways to make revenue without ads. If you are really honest about it to yourself you will realize it's not a very solid business model. People can easily circumvent ads and/or just ignore them.

You mean like charging $20 / year to access a service and not be displayed ads? That's the alternative revenue model and you want to circumvent that as well.

Ad block is only effective because not many people use it.

If it were even vaguely popular all major sites would have found a way to stop it working, they'd be a constant war going on.

I cannot imagine how could somebody prevent browser extensions injecting code to websites. As a happy user of ad-block I have seen some sites that force you to turn it off. Like iconmonstr.com But that can be easily circumvent.

For example, by making it difficult to tell what part of the website is an ad.
