Is Chrome going to block ads on the Google search results page for taking up more than 30% of the page?

My guess is no, because while they may take 30%+ of the screen initially, they don't represent 30%+ of the full page (see [0] for more details).

They wouldn't be adding it to Chrome if it did. That's the problem.
