The article is AdGuard centric but it sheds light on the whole process where Google suddenly decided to ban ad blockers.

Google is fundamentally an Ad-company - so promoting ad-blockers is bad for their revenue.

Not promoting them is one thing; but as the primary distributor of android apps, outright blocking them is absurd.

"you're not allowed to access my competitors" - google.

Especially when ad networks are leveraged to distribute malware.

Their current anti-trust lawsuit comes to mind...
