Back in the 2000-2005 timeframe, prior to HTTPS becoming ubiquitous, there was 
a lot of work on local ad-replacement on the web, particularly in countries 
that were receiving advertising primarily in languages their users didn’t 
speak.  That was also prior to most of the per-user tracking and cache-busting, 
of course.
