‘Google Blocks Adblock Plus, Puts Revenue Before Users’ – ‘ReadWrite’
The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Google Blocks Adblock Plus, Puts Revenue Before Users”.
Brian S Hall says, “Adblock Plus, the popular free ad blocking tool for PCs and smartphones, was removed by Google from its Google Play store for Android apps. Though the app will no longer be available through Google Play, Adblock Plus has made a downloadable version of the app available directly from its website. Of course, it’s still available for PC and Mac computer users, while it has never been an option for iPhone and iPad users.
“Google Crossed The Line”
Still, according to Till Faida, co-founder of Adblock Plus, “Google has crossed a red line by removing the app” and “is placing business interests ahead of user interests.”
“Isn’t Android an open system?” he asked”.
