I've never installed this or any similar system under the assumption 
that it is almost guaranteed not to work.

Designing a mere algorithm which can determine, with 100% accuracy, the 
difference between vital content and useless advertising garbage looks 
almost intractably difficult. Thus, the result would almost certainly be 
a system which either fails to block the majority of ads, or blocks the 
majority of useful content. (Or possibly both, at the same time.)

In other news, I have yet to see a spam filter which actually filters 
out spam and nothing else. (Then again, I haven't searched extensively 
for one...)
