    What Apple has done is quite disruptive, especially if the majority of users start using ad blockers, and especially to its competition. This screws over Google, and on top of that, allows Apple's and its friends to continue to benefit from ad revenue when they see fit. It's quite controlling, while at the same time releasing control. Not sure if I should see this as shady, or just really smart business.

    • Not sure how it "screws over Google" when it's something Google does/allows itself already.i_monk
    • Google makes a ton of money via advertising, and a ton of that via iOS. They would be greatly affected, if not "screwed over."monospaced
    • Doesn't Apple take a cut for ads delivered from Google through iOS?i_monk
    • Yes. And apple will continue to do that in their apps.monospaced
