After Google took on users who use Adblock on its YouTube platform, it is also preparing to crack down on those who use Adblock on the world's most used internet browser Google ChromeNext year, Google plans to Chrome deploy the so-called expansion system for Chrome called Manifest V3. This change from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3 will have a significant impact on all extensions that Google Chrome there are, including those for blocking ads.
The new Manifest V3 brings a number of restrictions in the area of ad blocking and, it seems, will significantly reduce, if not completely eliminate, the effectiveness of adblocks. While Manifest V2, which Chrome currently used, gives almost unlimited possibilities to developers of so-called adblockers, i.e. extensions for blocking advertising, in Manifest V3 there are a number of restrictions that developers must adhere to. They are already expressing themselves in such a way that these restrictions will have a significant impact on the functionality of their extensions.
However, Google is trying to play it all off that it doesn't have a problem with ad-blocking extension developers, but it does have a problem with users who block ads. Of course, it's just a matter of how each side reports the information, because the effect is the same, but Google wants to be nice to the developers of Adblocks. It seems that Google is running out of patience with those who deliberately block ads and try to use services or resources that use free advertising for their operation, without even being willing to at least watch the ad, when access to these resources is otherwise completely free.
So you areonets Chrome Does this step cut the branch under itself? There are many other browsers including EDGEwhich will continue to support ad blocking.
That's only good, ABP doesn't block anything anyway, they're better :D Without a blocker, there's no point, the nets are a cesspool these days, where there's no other way. I have about 10 websites and I don't have any advertising on any of them, but it doesn't make me a living. If I did, I'd probably try to generate profit in a way other than through advertising or subscriptions. Speaking of advertising on the website, max some one window in the footer that won't offend and not like a poster where you can't tell the content from the advertisement...
