W3C doesn't dictate what features browsers have or do not have, they're concerned with web standards. The MPAA joined to make sure DRM showed up in HTML5, not to tell Google to take out ad blockers.
If Google removes ad blockers it will be because Google's revenue is based on ads, not because the MPAA or the W3C told them to.
- Touche 13y agoI think that's a little naive. Google sells Hollywood movies and tv shows in their Play store.
- mhurron 13y agoAnd what does that have to do with an ad blocker in Chrome? Lot's of companies sell content though the Play Store, maybe it's NBC that is forcing Google to remove the ad blocker /sarcasm.
- Touche 13y ago> And what does that have to do with an ad blocker in Chrome? Google owns both Chrome and the Play Store...
- mhurron 13y agoSo that means that people using the Play store can dictate what does and does not go into Chrome? Damn, I need to get that $25 developer account. Again, what does movie distributors selling movies through the Play store have to do with the MPAA dictating what is and is not in Chrome?
