Google Allows Ad-Blocking on Chrome Browser

Google Allows Ad-Blocking on Chrome Browser

But one cannot rejoice so soon ...

Quote:
... One key difference is that Adblock Plus blocks the site from collecting the advertisement content, while the Chrome ad block allow the content to be collected but block it from appearing...

...Google says it sees all of this as a gamble that might just pay off. It argues that people will block advertising where it is an annoyance and that the ad-blockers will force advertisers to produce less-annoying ads.

It's also worth noting that Chrome's 40 million users represents only a tiny proportion of all Internet users. Throw in the fact that the ad-blockers only work on a beta edition and it's clear that there is room for Google to treat these ad-blocking extensions as an experiment that doesn't risk its entire business model...
Sure ...

cheers ...
