Google Chrome Rolls Out Ad Blockers

Bloomberg.com video above published Feb 15, 2018: Sourcepoint (domain: sourcepoint.com) CEO Ben Barokas discusses Google and online advertising with Emily Chang on "Bloomberg Technology."
An update on Better Ads | Web | developers.google.com: "In June, we announced Chrome's plans to support the Better Ads Standards in early 2018. Violations of the Standards are reported to sites via the Ad Experience Report, and site owners can submit their site for re-review once the violations have been fixed. Starting on February 15, in line with the Coalition's guidelines, Chrome will remove all ads from sites that have a "failing" status in the Ad Experience Report for more than 30 days. All of this information can be found in the Ad Experience Report Help Center, and our product forums are available to help address any questions or feedback."

The Digital News Report 2016, published by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, found at least one in five online consumers uses ad-blocking software across most major markets. Statista (see infographic below) reports the ad-blocking trend is here to stay: "usage of ad-blocking tools is by far the most prevalent among young consumers, indicating that the proportion of people blocking ads from their online experience will likely rise in the future."  Chart below shows how many people use ad-blocking software in selected countries:
