Publishers found gaping holes in their blocking and response is to give up.
Firefox already has config options to disable image animations and canvas. I've had them on for ages and sites work fine.
Maybe they can re-enable popup windows too since sites replaced them with interstitials long ago.
Chrome's dominance needs to end, this is blatantly anti user. Google could have de-ranked sites with hostile behavior a decade ago and we wouldn't be dealing with any of this stuff. But they won't, because ad money.

They already block what they consider to be 'bad' ads on websites. This is just them giving up because there's no strategic value in making a user-focused browser. chrome://settings/content/ads

- lumberingjack 6y agoI dread updates from google for there apps they break and change stuff that majorly upsets my workflow all the time. The worst I can remember was the no longer unlock screen with google assistant updates like a few years ago. I was at the hospitable in the morning after that update and many sad handless people could not use their life lines because of a fucking update.
