This effort I don’t believe was targeting people like most of what you would find here.
This ad-block ban, was mostly targeted at people who didn’t know what an ad-blocker was and didn’t want to have to deal with having to get banned.
If Alphabet(google) is actually serious about blocking ad-blockers, I would be surprised. Mostly because Microsoft has had more experience with this, also has billions, and even they quit.
IF? Are you paying attention to what’s going on with Chrome?
Google is introducing a bullshit system that will ultimately let them control what the browser can and can’t display.
They are working to eliminate ad blockers entirely.
Their entire fucking goal is to lock down YOUR FUCKING BROWSER so they can send you any ads they want, at any time they want, without them even having to be served through a website. They also want to push their “security” bullshit so that if you’re using a non-Chrome browser you get excluded from the internet.
And right now the overwhelming majority of browsers are Chrome based.
The EU will likely not let this happen, but the US has no balls when it comes to carving up shitbags these days.
