Hang on, what’s the Coalition for Better Ads? Website visitors will be prompted to block an ad but have the option not to. Google will leave the final decision in users’ hands, however. However, if just one website ad falls foul of CBA standards, Chrome will block not only that single ad, but all advertising on the resource. The ad blocker will base its decisions on guidelines laid out by the Coalition for Better Ads. What’s too much? How will Chrome decide what to block? So Google will block only those ads that get in your face too much.
Moreover, most websites make their daily bread with advertising. Chrome also knows not all ads are equally obtrusive. For example, take an ad that doesn’t strong-arm you but offers a discount or a solution that you actually want, you’ll be glad you saw it - and so will the advertiser. Unlike typical ad-blocking extensions, Chrome works on the assumption that not all advertising is bad. How is Google Chrome’s built-in ad blocker different? Typically, modern ad blockers forbid ad servers to download their content to pages viewed by users. Usually ad blockers are browser extensions that hide advertising. What will get the chop? And is all advertising equally bad? Let’s investigate. A recent Reuters study found that nearly a quarter of Internet users had one installed.Īd-blocking technology has now gone a step further: Google Chrome is set to start blocking advertising automatically. It’s no wonder ad blockers have been around for a long time already - or that they are very popular.
That’s hardly surprising: it’s annoying having a tacky picture splashed over half the screen when you’re engrossed in a really interesting article, or worse, a blast of noise from some autoplaying video ad way below the fold. Few people are fond of Internet advertising.
