Well I won't visit a site that is full of ads now without an ad blocker, so why would the fact that o can't block the ads change my mind. As soon as a site blocks content for having an ad blocker or immediately starts popping up tons of stuff that's nearly impossible to close, I leave.
why are they trying to restrict and control the internet? on the plus side I guess I'll go outside more, touch grass, forget this crap exists and enjoy other facets of life. It's just sad to see it be transformed into this pile of crap.

Companies like google should really not have so much power. I have stopped using chrome 1 year ago, and i am thinking about switching to a browser that doesn´t use chromium.

Google proving why it removed its old motto "Don't be evil."
Before everyone starts complaining, remember:
This is for the ads. There are millions of starving ads on the internet right now. For just a click and load a day on every ad you see you too can help a billion dollar company survive.
That also destroys the openess of the design. They already DRMed up the media, why the whole page? It will kill transparency completely
Here are the github repository, issues and comments immortalised for posterity in IPFS:
- ipfs://QmeeRa15gofL1UGxMGgb9vnv6VjA8MmNBNxPeAxB36KsNT/

- https://bafybeihsjcljogr7k25knn6nsivwegas53ouko6pzmqtnzgqncrwwexeiq.ipfs.dweb.link/
The issues and comments are in github json format -- if anyone wants to collate them into a human-readable text or html file, please do so.
Edit: Its immortality of course depends on you to access and pin the content.
What a bunch of scumbags.
Users often depend on websites trusting the client environment they run in. This trust may assume that the client environment is honest about certain aspects of itself, keeps user data and intellectual property secure, and is transparent about whether or not a human is using it. This trust is the backbone of the open internet, critical for the safety of user data and for the sustainability of the website’s business.
Jesus christ just the introduction paragraph is a load of horseshit. Actually bold faced lies. Users depend on websites trusting the client? In what fucking world are websites trusting the client??? Literally the only case is the media DRM that should have never been part of the web in the first place.
