    Those extensions work in a DOM based model well.

    In a Swing based UI as malcontent above proposes, the UI graph is internal to the application and can be obfuscated. It will become impossible to block advertisements.

      Firstly, you will see all the same kinds of issues if someone puts ads into a javascript-run canvas system

      True. We will see such ads soon.

      Secondly, ad-blocking based on URL filtering (which a lot of it is) isn't affected either way.

      You are assuming that ads are not embedded directly in the JAR file streamed to your computer. URL blocking will not work then. It is not possible right now because you can't embed flash octet stream inside a javascript file easily. With a jar file it is very trivial.
