Wow, fancy that. Web ad giant Google to block ad-blockers in Chrome. For safety, apparently

But on some sites that I've hit, you can't see the contents unless you turn off your ad blockers. I'm starting to see more of those. Not a big deal - I just leave the site. Screw them. I see enough dumb ads I don't need to see more of them. Having blockers makes surfing the net bearable.

I've noticed that I get those messages for Chrome, using AdBlock Plus. In Firefox, I don't get harassed as much. Almost never. I guess I'll go back to using FF if Google is going to go that route and twist our arms. It'll help FF gain a lot of users.
