Google's anti-ad scripts are breaking browsers and privacy plugins. It could get worse because Google controls the ad market, Chrome, and the extension store.

Another great article from 404 Media highlighting the power that the tech giants have amassed over how how we use the internet.

This extreme power over the adtech and online advertising ecosystem is one of the subjects of an FTC antitrust suit against Google.
