en Rather than comment on the poor effort made by google and others .Ask why they make such a poor effort. I suggest the answer would be money and belligerence.I thoink it reasonable to say Google has no sense of moral justice.They act to increase income and try to stretch what the law/regulation demands .Write to google and send a copy to all who matters e.g. local members of Government, senior members of government,holders of specific portfolios and those who have a role in the media. It works it realyl works

Useless extension that doesn't do anything except change the type of ads you see. There is literally no point to this, people who think untargeted ads are somehow better than targeted ads are just wrong.

More people should learn to read before posting. Google is very clear about what this does and doesn't do. It's all right there if you continue past the title and read the whole description. THIS IS NOT AN AD BLOCKER. It says that in the full description and docs. This app stops Google's ad company from targeting ads at you. It doesn't stop ads. It doesn't do a damn thing for ads served by other ad networks. Most importantly, it says that in the documentation. READ IT. If you are so self-entitled that you can't bother to read the docs to find out what the app does, you deserve what you get. Stop bitching about it. Freedoms have responsibilities.
