>So with this system, the same amount of space is still taken up by ads? I don't think that's really a huge improvement.
It will continue to take up space in most cases (but the system will make an ad block disappear completely if in some circumstances)
But you can go into your settings and set what you want to show up there.
It can be the default (a strange checkerboard mosaic thing), a selection of cat pictures, some abstract colors, a blank space, or you can set it to a custom URL (like a 1px by 1px gif image) which will make them collapse in a similar way to adblockers.
