If google et al. could spin a legal case against adblockers, they would. The strategy here is just to use the legal bludgeon whenever it's possible.

- pipythonmc 6y agouBlock Origin blocks youtube ads and is still on the chrome web store. Is it really that hard for google to take it down?
- _jjkk 6y agoIMO there's a risk of upsetting the Chrome monopoly and driving users away if they do it in such a heavy handed way. Also, they would either have to completely neuter their Extensions, or else constantly battle people submitting new adblockers in the same spirit as uBlock. But if every browser slowly adopts Chromium engine (the worrying trend), then they can make a move against adblockers and competing browsers would have to scramble to remake a competing browser engine to do anything about it.
