As you may already know, Google is going to include a built-in ad-blocker feature in their popular web browser software, Google Chrome. This is an unprecedented step because Google's revenue depends on advertising however they realize that too many intrusive ads ruin the web user experience so much that people start blocking all ads which is even worse for ad revenue companies. Unlike popular ad-blocking solutions such as uBlock and AdBlock which block all ads, the upcoming functionality in Chrome won't eliminate all the ads. It is intended to change the ad industry to make ads inconspicuous and less intrusive. This can make ads useful without being annoying and users may not block them. The company will take the first steps on February 15, 2018.
