Chrome to implement an adblocker

Kind of a dilution of the term, though - what they're essentially doing here is blocking -other- people's ads that are "below the standard" - e.g. the ads that cause most people to install adblockers - while leaving their own alone.

@munin AkA the Brave approach.
@maiyannah More or less. Though I don't know if any 'replacement ads' or other kinds of fun are involved.
