You might remember that I spoke about Samsung putting ad blocking technology the latest updates to their Android OS devices. At the time, I said this:
The big loser out of this? Google. They make a ton of cash off of ads. And though they make the Android OS, Samsung is basically the top Android vendor. So this has the potential to hurt Google.
It seems that Google has now struck back. Google has yanked an app called Ablock Fast which was made by Samsung from the Play Store. Now ad blockers get yanked all the time because of Google’s reliance of ad money. But yanking one from the company who has done more for the Android platform than any other Android OEM is pretty ballsy. I’m not going to be shocked is Samsung decides to retaliate.
