Yes they will.

AdBlocking is the same as having someone covering up billboards as you walk past, or cutting out all the ads from a newspaper just before delivering it to you. I'm actually stunned that those guys haven't been subject to a class action for obstruction of business.

I hate crap ads - and that's what started the hole adblocker thing - but advertising has been with us forever and is an integral part of our society and economy.

They should focus on improving the quality of advertising rather than creating an escalating war that simply wastes precious cycles from everyone.
cheers
