Know thy enemy…
Google’s big enough that they have people who genuinely support ad blockers and user agency. I don’t believe you ublock origin was represented at this conference.
I don’t really understand for profit ad blocking companies, it seems like their mission is antithetical to their profit margin.
Google are totally into blocking ads. That was the whole catch line for selling WEI. “We’ll block all the random ads for you and keep you safe”. What they didn’t say was that they would replace the blocked ads with Google bought ads.
Well, this is just like the CIA or whatever attending Defcon. Google undoubtedly has some ulterior motive, whether it’s to poach the best and brightest or to dilute the messaging, etc.
Research. Trying to kick up information on adblockers and how they function so they can kill the feature once and for all.
A 6 year old can see the contrived plan.
If devs are smart they would poison their data and use the event to troll Google. Wasting their cash.
Know thy enemy.
Looks like I won‘t be using anything Adguard anymore. I used their adblock DNS
Sorry but Adguard was never safe as they were always in the pocket of business.
