More and more people are turning to plugins that restrict and/or disable scripts and third-party content like AdBlock Plus and NoScript--not to block ads, but for security reasons. I think Google wants to fix the security problems in a different way so that their Javascript- and third-party-domain- based utilities can function.

- briansmith 18y agoThat is true. But, it won't be long before IT departments start putting everybody behind script- and ad- blocking proxies for security reasons. This kind of blocking will bubble up from hobbyists and down from corporate IT and could become mainstream as these two groups meet in the middle.
