What does chrome have to do with it though? Was there some sort of 0day that got exploited? I find that unlikely given how valuable 0days are and the low ROI from in targeted attacks. Shouldn't you be moving off google search itself, since that was ultimately responsible for the malicious ad? Or is it a generic "fuck google" move?

Chrome for Android doesn't support ad blockers. The ad was served through Double Click on a non-Google property.
