I don't know. On one hand I applaud Google's decision[1] to put its weight against autoplay videos, prestitial ads, and huge above-the-fold ads that are the main driving factor for me and many others to install an ad blocker in the first place. I would love to live in a world in which ad blockers are not necessary, everyone displays tasteful ads and every party involved gains something in the end. On the other hand advertising companies are still hell-bent on tracking and profiling people by whatever means necessary to target them better with ads. They amass huge amounts of information that, if put in the wrong hands, could lead to a disaster. This is what still makes (and will still make) blanket ad-blocking a necessity, IMO. --- [1] I'm ignoring the huge conflict of interest for the sake of argument here.
