Google to restrict Ad Blocker AddOns for Chrome Browser

[David]

Google is planning to restrict modern ad blocking Chrome extensions to enterprise users only, according to 9to5Google. This is despite a backlash to an announcement by Google in January proposing changes that will stop current ad blockers from working efficiently.

And the software giant is not backing down: It says the only people who can use ad blockers following the change will be Google’s enterprise users.

Google has confirmed plans to restrict ad blockers, despite complaints. Here’s what you need to know

As a publisher, I can't say I blame them. Too many people expect publishers to work for free. The independents who can't survive on a subscription model will eventually be wiped out. Then, the masses can all go to the Facebook Digital Ghetto. Facebook will eventually be replaced by a distributed social media platform which can't be censored or shutdown because it resides on thousands of independent computers across the world; someone is already working on one. Wouldn't be surprised to see it funded by one or more Bitcoin billionaires who pledge enough money to keep it free of corporate influence forever, somewhat like https://telegram.org.

I don't use Chrome, but for other reasons.

Good for google. They shouldn’t be aiding and abetting outright theft.

in fact ad blockers block the wastу of internet traffic

The problem with the ads is that they're so obnoxious and take forever to load. I have no problem with advertising - how else are you supposed to know when something is available? - but so much of it's just junk that takes over the internet and now I can never find what I'm looking for because ads for unrelated crap keep obstructing me.

I'll bet the Firefox people are like, YES!!

Speaking of Facebook, kept getting a msg from them to update to the NEW IMPROVED FASTER version on my desktop( phone app hasn't changed)...Anyway I finally did and wish I hadn't...twice as slow and the format is wonky..And ads on there don't stop, you can hide ads from "Nike" golf only to have "Titleist" golf replace it.. Seems every other post nowadays is an ad on there.

It will be interesting when the ads start appearing on the nmci assets. After Chrome gets shut down as unsafe with all those ad links the users are back to emptynet exploder or firefox. Which means firefox only.

It says except enterprise customers, which the NMCI network clearly is.

I hate the pages that automatically start playing videos. Having adblock in my browser speeds it up greatly.

This was obvious, Google loses a lot of money because some users use adblock, for them advertising is the most important source of income. This is what Google, or any other search engine, is based on. Either sooner or later these changes would occur. But anyway, there are adblocks that will negotiate with Google, meaning they will make a partnership or something like that. I know he read me somewhere about this. Most likely they will be the most popular adblocks for Google, I think from this ranking https://thinkmobiles.com. What do you think about the new changes from Google?

I've installed pi-hole on my network and have noticed an incredible decrease in ads.

I have been using Adblock Plus for 2 years now and I haven't had any problems since installation.
In general, for me, Adblock for chrome is very important because, before them, I always had problems and nerves from ads with porn, casino, and other things extremely unacceptable to me.
I am very happy that I found such programs and now I can calmly activate on the internet without having problems like this.

If you had porn ads that means someone used your computer to look at porn.
