I wouldn't be surprised if the feature of 'blocking snoopy ads' become a browser standard. And considering Chrome + Safari take a majority of browser market share, this feature, basically, is a death sentence to all the Internet ad companies. Of course, Google will be fine.
- majewsky 9y agoLike when popup blocking became a standard browser feature around a decade ago?
- real-hacker 9y agoThis is different from the popup in nature. A lot of ads rely on cookie tracking to target users, this feature makes tracking almost impossible, and ads without targeting have much less value. Are you suggesting internet ads will invent new ways to track users?
- majewsky 9y agoI hope not. :D But until now, data miners have always found some way to work around the restrictions that browsers imposed. (Though, admittedly, an adblocker is the toughest such restriction.)
