"Google will let publishers ask people who use ad-blockers to either enable advertising or make a payment to view content without ads.
"Funding Choices" will roll out first in North America, UK, Germany, Australia and New Zealand, Google said in a blog.
Google is also working on an ad-blocker of its own, which will function in its Chrome browser."

Do you think this was planned all along, as a reason why Google got involved in the browser space? Remember the fines/issues that Microsoft had with Internet Explorer and Windows. Could this be something similar? They control the ads for mainstream (Adwords) and now the browser.
Or maybe adblockers charging will lead us to less people using them, and more of our ads being "seen"
Thoughts?
