Google’s anti-ad scripts are breaking browsers and privacy plugins. It could get worse because Google controls the ad market, Chrome, and the extension store.

    I also pay for YouTube. I just don’t normally bring it up because it usually results in a lot of rather unpleasant replies.

    It’s fascinating, really.

    Google gets a lot of hate for being a data collection behemoth. The whole “if you aren’t paying, you are the product” thing. And rightfully so.

    And pirates love to say that if companies would just charge a reasonable rate for an easy-to-use service, then they would just pay instead of pirating.

    But when it comes to YouTube, a lot of people seem to want to have it both ways.
