Honestly, I've kind of always wondered why they didn't just do this. It's always seemed like the obvious thing to me.
I mean, I hope it doesn't work, because screw Google, but I'm still surprised it took them this long to try it.
Yeah, I've thought the same. It's like with ads on websites - ads are served from different domains and as blockers work by denying requests to those domains. If they really wanted they could serve the ads from the same domain as the rest of the website. I guess one day they might but so far it must not be worth it.
