The use of Ad blockers is on the rise, particularly among millennials and on mobile devices. In 2016, 41% of Ad Block users were aged 19-29, and 37% of users blocked ads on their mobile devices. This presents a serious challenge for advertisers. Google is fighting back with plans to develop their own Ad Blocker that’s built into Chrome. It’s Safe to say this won’t block any ads served by Google and it will be interesting to see how many users will opt for Google’s Ad Blocker over current leaders. The stats gathered here give Google reason to worry.
