Google is Purging Ad-Blocker apps from the Play Store

[Ssith]

this move would bother me if i was unable to get the blockers elsewhere. but there are other sources.

i've only used an adblocker for one reason, and it's got nothing to do with annoyance - if i find an app annoying, i'll avoid it. the sole reason i use ad blockers is that ads and ad networks funnel in malware. they always have, they always will.

that is why ad-blockers are useful and necessary.

The app developer who can skillfully embed the ad-block functionality in a program that has the primary appeal of being a game or browser will likely come along soon.

Then Google will detect that and the real games begin... perhaps in court.
