Since Google makes tons of money off of ads, it "makes sense" that they wouldn't want to encourage users of their products/services to have tools to block those income-producing ads.
So far, this is limited to Android devices, but I could see Google attempting to render Chrome less capable of blocking ads. IMO, it's probably just a matter of time.
So much for "don't be evil", eh?

Edited by King Dutchy: 3/14/2013 10:08:43 PMGood, Adblock pisses me off. I don't want to pay money to use Google's products, I'm willing to have an ad off to the side of the page to help me not pay for the services, I'm willing to have an add before certain youtube videos that I can skip within 5 seconds usually. This isn't evil.
