Starting in December 2018, Chrome 71 will remove all ads on the small number of sites with persistent abusive experiences. Sites with known abusive behavior will have all ads blocked by the built-in ad-blocking mechanism.
As you may already know, Google Chrome incorporates a built-in ad-blocker. It is able to detect links disguised as play buttons and site controls, along with other sites which do not follow the Better Ads Standards. Such sites abuse the user experience by tricking the user into opening popups.
Advertisеment
A new blog post reveals a major change to how the Chrome browser will deal with ads. The post points that Google Chrome will block all ads on any web site that matches Google's 'abusive ads' criteria, which includes:
Malware or unwanted software.
Unexpected click areas.
Auto redirects.
Fake messages.
Mouse pointer elements.
Phishing.
Misleading site behavior.
The announcement states the following.
Starting in December 2018, Chrome 71 will remove all ads on the small number of sites with persistent abusive experiences. Site owners can use the Abusive Experiences Report in their Google Search Console to see if their site contains any of these abusive experiences that need to be corrected or removed. Site owners will have a 30 day window to fix experiences flagged by the Report before Chrome removes ads.
So, if you are a webmaster, check out the Abusive Experiences Report in your Google Search Console to see if your web sites are flagged with abusive experiences.
Note: As is the case with any other web site without a pay wall, paid subscriptions, or any other methods of content access restrictions, Winaero relies on ads for operating costs and software development. If you use an ad blocker, we would appreciate being whitelisted. Also, there is a donation button below this post that you can use to show your support.

what the betting google doesnt block their own persistant advertising
Chrome = Privacy and fast
Firefox = Spying and slow
Phil, while I agreed with you when you said that UWP was shit and that win32 was fast I don’t agree with you here. FF is faster and doesn’t collect personal data and Chrome is slower and does collect personal data.
Chrome’s new UI and Flash permission behaviours are so crap. I wish I could stay on Chrome 70. Is there any reliable way to turn off automatic updates? For me, Chrome is held together by flags. Google had some great designers. What happened to them? I could write books on Flash but I cannot be bothered.
