Google Readying to Actively Protect Advertising Revenue Priorities

Howdy, Members:

Over the years I have intermittently switched browsers between Chrome, Firefox, Palemoon, Cyberfox, and Opera. I am currently using Chrome for about the last 5-years... but that's about to change again.

I just found (2) disturbing articles which spell unfortunate news for Chromium users who utilize ad blocking as I do:

• Chromium to Weaken Ad-Blockers – Impacts Chrome, Edge and Brave Browsers
• Google rejects Brave (BAT) ad campaign as “Malicious or unwanted software”. : CryptoCurrency

I hope this proves helpful and especially invite Power-User comments.

ALSO: Tried running an ad-campaign for @Brave on @GoogleAds and was rejected for "Malicious or unwanted software". $BAT

Worst case scenario if this pans out is just to run hosts file instead of ad blocker extensions...

Howdy, Infrasonic:

Please explain your thinking.
