In Google's defence, they're in the business of making money, not in the business of doing good.
If I'm completely honest, I'm actually ok with a model where we, the technomages, are able to install Adblock anyway and the muggles have to deal with an eyeball-tax. >;]

Besides, it's only so because of the opinion that --in the long run-- being (perceived) as a good company is better than being a short-term greedy one. You could debate whether removing Adblock constitutes an evil act, but at the end of the day _someone_ has to pay for those shiny new services and gadgets.
