I'm happy to see this being noticed more and more. Google wants to destroy the open web, so it's a lot at stake.

Google basically says "Trust us". What a joke.

The fraud-fighting project has fired up quite a controversy

fraud-fighting? Even Google's initial pitch was explicitly describing it as a way to sell more ads.

    I wish they'd have grown a pair and outright said "we're forbidding ad blockers in Chrome, come at us". I bet there'd be less controversy. This WEI thing just makes them look like sniveling weasels.
