Google To Allow Double Serving Ads
www.seroundtable.com
Well, it seems to be official now. Starting April 14, 2025 Google will update its Unfair advantage policy to say it is allowed to show the same ad, from the same company, going to the same page, as long as the ad is in a different ad location. Google was just experimenting with this earlier and now it is officially going to be allowed.

    Yea, that’s a point, but I suspect that most people don’t know how to block them.

    And at work, I don’t have ad block of any kind. Rarely matters, but sometimes.

      I managed to install LibreWolf + uBlock on my work computer. I haven’t fucked around with custom filters on that setup but power user mode is on and most 3rd party stuff is blocked. And JS is disabled by default.

      It’s actually quite refreshing: pages load superfast and because most of my internet searching is technical documentation/blogs/stack overflow, not having JS running doesn’t bother me 90% of the time.
