<< Why would Google ever commit to keep ad blockers working. It makes no sense.
We are the end users of this software and, while clearly a minority, we do expect things to work. If a useful feature is being neutered, it is considered bad for the users. Thankfully, Google is not, yet, in a position where it can just force its adoption. Thankfully, there are still other options ( including some recent moves creation of non-G and non-F browser; and interesting variants of Chrome ).
Those vocal end users ( and that includes me ) want things in one specific way. For two different reasons:
1. I recently was forced to browse net without adblockers and it was a horrid experience. I pity the poor souls that live without them.
2. I still basically do everything tech related around the house. If Google starts being annoying, I will drop it like a hot potato. Thankfully, I am not longer local tech guy for my extended family.
In other words, it still makes sense for Google to appease the people, who do the work of converting and then supporting their software, because people sure don't call Google, when it raining ads.
By the by, didn't we go through the exact period with infinite pop-up ads and agreed that it was a really bad idea? Why would anyone think users want it back?
