Actually, I read Google won't be too late to the party adding ad blocking to Chrome. Of course, with their ad networks whitelisted by default. To be honest, I think if they haven't done this already is because it would be such a monopolistic move. Most AdBlockers come with Google adsense whitelisted, but imagine if Google did that themselves. But considering not only how widespread the use of ad blockers is, but also how other browsers are soon going to ship with an ad blocker built in, now they'll be able to do it without anyone complaining about it.
- true_religion 11y agoWhat Google would have to do is participate in some sort of standards body for ads, like the IAB except with the sole purpose of determining "compliant" ad companies vs ad companies who will be blocked by default. If they can get enough buy in, then they'll implement adblocking in Chrome while saying "we're not using monopoly power, we are simply implementing the standard X that Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera and Firefox have all implemented before us".
