When ad blocking is a cat-and-mouse game, make the mouse slowe

    I moved away from chrome over a year ago, once they started talking about blocking ad blockers. Firefox works great, easily imports your passwords and bookmarks, and supports all the ad block extensions I like.

    Google feels ok in doing this due to their dominating share in the browser market. In reality, the most influential users of their products will end up finding alternatives, and never coming back. These users tend to convince other users to follow. It’ll be a slow downturn unless Google ramps up their efforts, but it’ll happen.
