Google to restrict modern ad blocking Chrome extensions to enterprise users https://9to5google.com/2019/05/29/chrome-ad-blocking-enterprise-manifest-v3/ … Google: "New and existing technologies could affect our ability to customize ads and/or could block ads online, which would harm our business."
Point taken; what's the critique separate to that? That the list size is too small? Something else?

Imagine if anti-virus companies were restricted by Microsoft to only having a "list" of virus signatures they could block, and could not invent new smart methods of detecting viruses? "Ad blockers" are the "windows anti-virus" of the browser.

And why should the wolf be in charge of the hen house? Why should the world's largest advertising company be in charge of implementing all ad blockers, denying choice? I love Google. You guys are amazing! In many ways! But this idea is crazy.
