Google engineers want to make ad-blocking (near) impossible

I'd go even further. If I was asked to run one of these projects I would subvert & sabotage the entire thing while pretending to be 150% on board.

Why not get paid by the devil while fighting his plans?

You don't even have to make it obvious that you are cratering it. There are so many shiny things in tech you could make it look entirely incidental.

Part of me reserves hope that this is what some of the engineers inside of Google are doing right now.

Let's hope that indeed is the case... But as a first reaction I'd expect some friction or resistance to this from within Google. What would be their rationale for exposing their plans on Github and not going silently as (I've recently learned) Apple did?

If you're listening to this message, you are the resistance.
