Of course Google's ads will be deemed as "acceptable" with their own ad blocker. What are the chances that Google will add the capability to allow for third party "content blockers" that block ads in Chrome for Android?

Apple has allowed third party content blockers for iOS for years.

Well I see this playing out similar to the Adblocker scandal (i.e. pay Google to get on a special "Google Approved" list, and then you'll bypass the blocker.)
