Electronic Arts has officially launched EA Advertising, a new team that will bring ads directly into EA games and live events. EA says ads will be integrated into gameplay through real-time placements, such as stadium billboards, sponsored content, and other branded experiences. The company says these ads are meant to “enhance, not disrupt” the player experience. The first focus will be on EA Sports games, where advertising already exists in real-world sports. EA says brands including Visa, State Farm, Chime, Coach, Vans, and Lowe’s have already worked with the company.

‼️ Google is about to disable all adblocker extensions in Chrome. Instead of letting the adblocker inspect traffic itself, extensions now have to hand Google's browser a limited list of filtering rules and hope for the best. This leads to weaker blocking and more ads getting through. Google makes the vast majority of its money selling ads. The company that profits from every ad you see also controls the browser most people use, with Chrome 149 being the last version supporting adblockers. For example, under the new rules, uBlock Origin cannot exist. For millions of people, that extension is the only thing standing between them and a wall of ads, trackers, and autoplay garbage. One user put it bluntly: "The web is literally unusable without uBlock Origin."
