AdNauseam Banned from the Google Web Store
At the risk of downvotes: Is anyone really surprised?<p>AdNauseam is silently clicking ads.  This <i>directly costs Google money</i>.  Google happens to control the extension web store for their own browser.  Removing it from the store really isn't that bad.  Uninstalling it from existing browsers as malware?  A little more malicious, but I would still consider it self defense.<p>There is even a method to install it directly[1] which AFAIK Google has not blocked.<p>Granted, if Google were not both running the browser and the ad network, these actions probably wouldn't have been taken.  But the whole attitude that this is some sort of tyrannical thing is a little over the top.<p>1. <a href="https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/wiki/Install-AdNauseam-on-Chrome-Without-Google's-Permission" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/wiki/Install-AdNauseam-on...</a>
