Can they please also punish sites that cover whole page with that stupid cookie warning, thanks.
The legally required one?

To be honest I've seen a couple advertisements that I watched the full ~5 minutes. Both were game trailers that were really interesting. I would have rather had a "click here to view the actual trailer video instead of the ad version" button though. I was sold after the first 2 minutes, but couldn't see the full name of the game until the end.
Game trailers as ads? Over 95% of the stuff I watch on Youtube is gameplays, collagehumor and tech reviews, yet all my ads are diapers or clothing softeners. I've no idea why their algorithm sucks so much for my account.
I work for an e-commerce company. This absolutely brutalized our sales until we made significant changes to our layout. I understand that this instance is seen as a net positive for the end user, but Google should not have the power to force websites to conform to whatever Google decides is the new standard, or become irrelevant.

(I had, at one point, some 2,000 or so personally modified wepage CSS files under Stylish for just this sort of crap.)
Does this mean they'll get rid of their own popup ad: Get to Google faster. Switch your default search engine to Google. Yes, show me. There's not even a "No" option. (Google is my default search engine. I just have their tracking blocked, so they can't check this. Lame.)
DuckDuckGo has gotten so much better. I didn't think it was possible but I switched and I don't miss Google 99% of the time. The biggest exception I've found is that the maps from open street map don't have street view.

this solution is absurd, do you understand?
It works. You can get rid of many annoying pop-ups and overlays that way. It even works on dumber paywalls.
so no, it doesn't work on a larger scale. it's like suggesting to hack MS Windows checks if provided licence key is valid in order to use OS. It works, but for narrow audience, and we should discuss about how to solve issue for all users.

You’re giving permission to scrape by way of having a page accessible to the general public. If googlebot is bothering you so much, install a two line robots.txt and it’ll go away.
robots can ignore your /robots.txt.
