Is it possible to block ads while still supporting website owners?

I’ve never had much of a problem with advertisements on the Web. Farming my personal information to better target those ads is bad, but the ads themselves are what ensure that I can surf the Web to my heart’s content without paying a dime. Still, ads can be pretty annoying, and while it’s easy to block them, doing so means you’re hurting the website owners who need the ad revenue to keep the website running. So is there anyway to have the best of both worlds, have a nice ad-free web-browsing experience while still supporting website owners? Well, if Google has it’s way, a small subscription fee could help you do just that.
