The trending remour say Google has started neutralizing the popular adware filter
AdBlock plus. It seems like Google has finally discover a way around this
handy ad-gobbling extension to increase their almost non-existent revenues
from the site .
Twitter users posted screenshots of Chrome, showing the video
streaming site playing “pre-roll ads” without any skip option. It seems that
YouTube is masquerading Ads as normal video-content. This trick seems to
work well with all existing adblocker extensions, not only the market leader
AdBlock Plus.This pose a major setback to web developers, since the ads contribute a
significant slice of their total income.
You can say Google has almost gone rogue with their new scheme, since
users with the extension are no longer able to skip the ad at the beginning
of the video; a privilege afforded by most of us non AdBlock users for a
long time.
Users have claimed that by uninstalling the YouTube app, Google’s bypass
gets skipped and AdBlock Plus will return to its rightful place.
Google’s new development might bring happy tears to the eyes of many
content creators and publishers, as the world famous website plays King in
cashing more than a few industrious pay checks.
Adware is still a major controversy among content creators and consumers,
and will most likely remain a battle that we’ll never see the end of… Or more
suitably; The Battle of the Net.
