 FWIW Firefox will also move to block some ads by default
 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Roadmap

 > Last but not least, in 2018, Firefox will get more opinionated. People

 >
 > [...]
 >
 > Filter certain types of ads by default: Firefox will offer users a
 simple ad filtering option. We're in the early stages still, researching
 types of advertisements that should be blocked by default. (Q3)
 >
 > Block ad re-targeting: We are working on blocking cross-domain tracking.
 Details to follow. (Q3)
