yeah that's actually the point of the outrage. Using block lists is nice, but modern adlockers can do much, much more. If you just use lists, chances are the Ad industry - with the help of Google, will find a way to circumvent it. They probably already have, see anti-adblock-blockers.

Nowadays, you can invent clever ways to get around all this. With the new Chrome - you probably can't.

In the future, it'll probably be such that every website asks you to disable adblocking or you are blocked from the site.
