> No, Chrome isn’t killing ad blockers -- we’re making them safer

Lately I'm skeptical of anything purporting to be "secure" or "safe" due to the prevalence of such doublespeak. More often than not these products or "improvements" are secured against the user instead of in their favor.

If Google actually cared about the safety of non-technical users, they would ban (or prominently flag) extensions that use the "dangerous" APIs from the centralized distribution channels that they control, similar to what they do with Google Play for Android.
