IE9 and Tracking Protection: Microsoft disrupts the online ad business?

Quote:
If Internet Explorer 9 becomes widely adopted and if Tracking Protection is widely used?and those are two tricky assumptions?it has the potential to seriously disrupt the online advertising business. Microsoft made this feature widely available last week in the Release Candidate build of IE9 (if you missed it, here?s my review of the IE9 RC). Using the RC, it takes exactly two clicks to download a Tracking Protection List (TPL) and begin blocking third-party cookies, tracking pixels, web beacons, hit counters, analytics scripts, and other tools of the modern web designed to assemble a profile of your movements and activities on the web.

Oh, and it blocks ads, too.
conclusion: it requires user interaction, so it won't be a big problem.
