So, Your only ad choice will be Goolge! Since another ad provider (?) may be "annoying or intrusive";

Yes I`m just kidding, But google is far too POWERFUL anyway.

No, they'll only block ads that don't follow the guidelines defined by the Coalition for Better Ads [0] (Google is a member, but there is a lot of other members, like Facebook, ...). Note that this may include ads provided by Google.

Why are there so many people shilling for Google with this "coalition"?
