That’s so wrong. They might have failed for now, but we’ll see them trying again. And again. Google is the worlds most valuable ad company. They earn billions every year by showing people ads and adblockers are costing them several billions every year. They will come back and they will try again.

So? It didn’t mean the end of adblocking on Chromium and everybody with 2 working brain cell already knew that in advance.
