It does not allow blocking Google\any tracking and Google ads, essentially, and gives the Ad industry (and malware) a way to circumvent the blocker with modern tech, because it is a non smart ad blocker but a dumb filter list from 2002.
This is fully intended to give Google the ability to use sophisticated scripts to serve ads and track you despite blocking. Everything else Google says about this is bull!
They probably already have the tech set up. And that real blocking still works for Enterprisr customers is the nail in thr coffin.
If you care about a usable Web, STOP USING CHROME.
Google is has become the #1 anti user and anti freedom company. They want to make money from Ads and tracking, so dont think they will allow you to block ads.
- rocqua 7y ago> It does not allow blocking Google\any tracking and Google ads As per the article, you can still use a rule set to block. Whilst undoubtably less powerful, I would expect that could still be used to block Google stuff.
- zwaps 7y agoWhy would you expect that? It seems to me that Google does this precisely because they have tech to circumvrnt dumb- style list blocking, but not more advanced heuristics.
- SquareWheel 7y ago>It does not allow blocking Google\any tracking and Google ads Why not? Have you read the spec for chrome.declarativeNetRequest? Please substantiate your comment.
