Do you think a regular user knows how to block a specific website or never click a link leading to it again? And what about the ads people, adding such a thing if you don't load their ads?

I think this point of view is making it a bit too easy.

As someone who supports some bottom of the barrel "regular users".. they aren't monkeys. They have brains that function enough to process "oh, I shouldn't do that again".

A user doesn't need to know anything other than "when I go to site XYZ.com my computer freezes. Guess I won't go there again"

It's been 15 years since this was possible. How many times have you heard of this being an issue? Again, it's self correcting. Site freezes machine, user stops going to site. There's zero incentive to do this and tons of incentive to not do it. Even an ad, your ads would get banned, not good for you, no incentive.
