<p>Personally I'd rather just see users given a choice. Ban the ability to pay to be the default search engine, and throw up a search engine selection screen when a user first launches the browser.<p>If people still choose to use Google then so be it.</p>

<p>It has morphed. Or at least the algorithms are pushing militant feminism far more prominently nowadays.<p>All these guys see on their social feeds, day-in, day-out, is 'feminists' stating that all men are just rapists-in-waiting and how they should have their rights and/or autonomy restricted, or from the most extreme examples, be physically mutilated or outright murdered.<p>You don't have to look hard to find this stuff on social media, and once you do find it, that's all you'll ever be served.</p>

<p>Not paying for a movie ticket is a crime. Blocking ads is not. They're not equivalent.<p>Also, if the industry actually did something, <i>anything</i> to address the grievances of ad block users (a lot of whom I'm willing to bet aren't inherently against advertising and fully understand it funds the content they consume and enjoy), it might be less of, if not a complete non-issue. But no, ads are still distracting, still heavily affect page load speed, still track every little thing visitors do, and still infect millions of peoples' systems with malware every year, and the industry just collectively shrugs and ploughs on towards maximum profit at any cost.</p>

<p>Simple: All they know is Google.<p>Launch Edge > Search "Google" > Bing displays Google Search link > Click > Google Search tells user to install Chrome > User installs Chrome > Google maintains browser and search engine monopoly</p>

<p>C: the main problem with ads is they serve as one of the most prevalent infection vectors for malware.<p>The tracking and seizure of attention are of lesser concern to me personally.</p>
