Google & I are both missing out on a little revenue, but what I meant by 'Google's problem' is that they're aware of it, and there's nothing I can do to fix it.

I sell ad space to Google, most of which I have no control over, and yes as a consumer I use and like the fact that NIS blocks most retina-burn, flashing banner ads. It's unfortunate that the more palatable AdSense ads get thrown out with the slime, but when I have the plastic out, I disable NIS anyway.

I do agree that NIS does render some sites almost unusable, but so do alternate browsers in some cases, so I fault the Webmaster for being lazy or incompetent. It's not a difficult fix--good idea for a new thread.

I also agree they might save some dough on attorney fees if NIS shipped with ad-blocking disabled by default.
