Advertising is going to blow up like real estate.

Looking at the image colours... was the last one red, but someone said that's too aggressive? Looks strange

So what happens if you just block every ad topic?

What's sad is that I've always been a huge Google supporter but they keep on moving in a direction that I'm no longer comfortable with.

I'm also a certified Google proctor, which allows me to officially tutor and troubleshoot problems with anything Google.

I just don't see myself ever using that skillet in the future due to the current assault on its users' privacy from Google.

I know, right??

I got practically everyone I know into using the whole Google ecosystem. Now I deeply regret it. Their "do no evil" motto was ditched and it's all about profits now.

Even shittier when it got silently pushed through an update and was turned on by default without asking for prior permission.

Better late than never I guess.
