Wow, fancy that. Web ad giant Google to block ad-blockers in Chrome. For safety, apparently

Re: Go for it, Google!

Having a reasonably good time with Waterfox + uBlock (+ a bunch of other tools).

As I keep saying. I don't block ads. I block privacy-destroying cross-site trackers. If they decide to hang their ads off that, it's not my problem. If the content providers want me to see ads, all they have to do is run ads on their site. I see images no problem, nothing stopping them from running ads. Locally. Without tracking me. Anonymised? Sure, and the way they do it can be de-anonymised all too easily, especially by social networks and those with huge number of other data points. Anyone who says different is either a fraudulent shill or an ignorant shill.
