Sorry but Adguard was never safe as they were always in the pocket of business.

For Apple devices: Wipr Everything else: uBlock Origin

Two independent developers that have not sold out.

Left hand, what the hell is right hand doing?

Left hand: Setting up a mouse trap and baiting it with the cap to the soda bottle I just opened.

Well, this is just like the CIA or whatever attending Defcon. Google undoubtedly has some ulterior motive, whether it's to poach the best and brightest or to dilute the messaging, etc.

Research. Trying to kick up information on adblockers and how they function so they can kill the feature once and for all.

A 6 year old can see the contrived plan.

If devs are smart they would poison their data and use the event to troll Google. Wasting their cash.

Google are totally into blocking ads. That was the whole catch line for selling WEI. “We’ll block all the random ads for you and keep you safe”. What they didn’t say was that they would replace the blocked ads with Google bought ads.
