    But the register wasn’t able to reproduce it, and goes on to suggest it might be testing the capability with a random subset of users.

      Google admitted it was intentionally making its content less binge-able for users unwilling to turn off offending extensions

      a Google spokesperson explained. “In the past week, users using ad blockers may have experienced delays in loading, regardless of the browser they are using.”

      I’m not trying to be difficult i genuinely don’t understand what is misleading here.

      it feels like i’m missing something

      or is the idea the delay could be a byproduct of the action google is taking against ad blockers, but not the intended result

      In this case yeah it is a little misleading or click bait but the gist is still there
