Google's iOS app now injects advertisements for Google Search on third-party websites
A new feature of the Google app on iOS injects links that go back to Google Search on third-party websites unless publishers opt out.
If they think Adblock should be forbidden because it changes source code, then this is hypocrisy
Google introduced a new AdSense ad format earlier this year that works similarly, turning text on the webpage into an ad that opens in Google Search.
Weren't these super common scam websites a decade ago?
Yes but the difference is they were opting their readers in. Now Google is hijacking content without consent if the site owner.
Yep, but now that you have monopolies doing it, they can do whatever they want and abuse their position.

For some reason this is a link to a discussion board that contains the actual link.

Shame yourself @OP
Changed it, thx!
Interesting. I can’t imagine putting google stuff on my iPhone, though. I went iOS forever ago to get away from Google, I definitely wouldn’t put their spyware on my phone.
