> Given the separation between chrome and ad words, I think the abusive ad could even be from google..

I'm not trying to get investment advice or trying to manipulate the market, this is an honest question. How should investors react in situations like this? If Google Chrome's this new feature ends up being very effective, Chrome will be more successful but Google will have less ad revenue (possibly). Is GOOG safer now or what?

This has no negative effect on Google- but it is anti-competitive. If you read the title again you’ll see it’s only about blocking abusive ads- not abusive websites in general. Google’s own advertising will not trigger this since google itself has already approved them. There is a 30 day review period for website owners to remove said abusive ads- so you can rest assured knowing that google will not flag a website to remove google ads. This new feature is definitely not an ad blocker. It’s much more inline with a competition blocker or even a censorship tool. If not anti-competitive, perhaps it’s come from new work being done for China.
