Google Disables Ad Blocker AdNauseam

The developers of the ad-blocking app AdNauseam say Google has thrown the app out of the Chrome store and disabled the extension in Chrome for all users. Unlike most ad blockers, AdNauseam "clicks" on all ads and trackers. "The idea is basically to poison the well: by generating such a high level of noise, it makes the signal-to-noise ratio untenable, and renders tracking beacons and ad-delivery cookies moot," Consumerist writes.
