Google Vs. Ads:

As an online user, you may get annoyed by the Ads like Auto-play videos or music Ads. Some Ads may cover your entire screen by hiding the content that you are looking for. In Youtube, Some videos may run only after the full video ad has been completed. In this case, users are made to wait for some time to view the actual content what they need. Also in some cases, when you are searching something on Google, many ads will get popped up restricting your from viewing the actual content.

Hence, to make the user experience better on online. Google has decided to block some Ads which is irrelevant to the user. Google has recently joined an industry group mainly focusing on to improve the online Ads, called the coalition for better Ads. This group has devised a set of better Ads standards which Google has integrated into the Chrome browser.
