We’re dropping Google Ads

I used to feel there was something bad about using ad-blockers, then Google started paying AdBlock to allow some types of Google ads through. I learned this while working for Google in DoubleClick circa 2014. I no longer work for Google. PSA -- just so you know.

Yes, that's been known about AdBlock. These days I recommend uBlock Origin.

I always allowed the text ads to go through. They are the least intrusive, least dangerous ads for the longest time. I found them generally relevant.
