Google will soon block battery-draining ads from loading in Chrome

  I mean that's good and all but if you have battery draining ads being blocked by Google you are being blocked by a competitor and that seems like something someone would want to sue for, and what's more something I think you would win a lot for.

  I still don't understand who thought that allowing ads to run arbitrary code in the first place was a good idea.

      What problems does that solve that displaying an image (possibly animated gif) that links somewhere would have?
