Google’s plans to limit ad blockers in Chrome have already led many users to consider switching browsers. People’s anger was made worse by the confirmation that the only people who will avoid the changes to the way ad blockers work in Chrome will be Google’s enterprise users. Advertising is at the heart of Google’s business model and so unsurprisingly, users have been questioning the software giant’s motives.
