Exactly my thoughts, this effectively puts a price premium on ads under any of Alphabet's networks.

My thought as well, google/alphabet has a real PR problem here.

More or less. It's Google's way of getting around header bidding.

At least it makes using a third-party adblocker that much easier:
if (domain == 'adsense') { blockAd(); }Re: How Google Chrome’s ad blocker works
#7if (domain != 'adsense') { blockAd(); }
Yeah, adsense is the main reason. Then Google states you don't need other ad blocker and removes them all from Web store :)

Google uses EasyList and EasyPrivacy which includes AdSense, DoubleClick, Analytics, and other Google properties. Read the article.

They won't discriminate against all 3rd parties at first, it would be too obvious. They will quietly grow the list of blocked 3rd parties, with the intention of gradually shifting all spend to AdSense/DoubleClick platforms.
