How will this not lead to google strangling their competitors.
Are we really going to have to just trust them to use this fairly?
Will we really expect google to interpret the Better Ads Standard without any bias, treating their own ads equally to other ads?
Maybe they will be good, but I for one am not comfortable with this.
Imagine what happens when chrome decides Facebook ads deserve to be blocked.
- rmrfrmrf 9y agoAccording to the article, this is more about google's competitors strangling them (by being so intrusive that customers consider full ad blockers to be necessary).
- bostik 9y agoCredit where it's due - they're right. Full ad blockers are necessary.
- dhimes 9y agoAnd I don't expect this to change that, frankly. They say nothing about blocking the trackers, and that's what needs to be blocked.
- IncRnd 9y agoGoogle is far from being strangled, making around $100B in income. The bulk of that income comes from AdWords. AdWords are ads.
- quickben 9y agoAmong the rest, this will lead to competitors promoting non-chrome.
