For all the people cheering on ad blockers: do you not realize that the _only_ result of wide-spread ad blocking is to drive smaller ad networks out of business and make Google into a monopoly?
This is not a win for privacy or security on the Internet. Google is an order of magnitude worse offender compared to the small-time ad networks.
And no, you cannot ad block Google. Good luck trying to block google.com cookies and access to *.google.com.
- interpol_p 11y agoMost ad blockers will block Google's ad network Doubleclick and Google search result ads, Gmail ads, by default. What do you mean when you say one cannot ad block Google?
- bambax 11y ago> you cannot ad block Google Why not? It may be difficult to stop google from tracking you, but if you don't ever see the consequences (as you're blocking their ads), it doesn't much matter does it?
- cpeterso 11y agoI think the OP means that many websites rely on Google services and will stop working if you block google.com content or cookies.
