Google Chrome Strikes Again (with Chrome 71)! (27)
It was just earlier this year when Google introduced their Better Ads Experience and tried to block popups, redirects and other abusive ads.
As we affiliates know it wasn't very successfull and web is still pretty much working same as before.
Well, here comes another try from Google's side:
"Last year, after hearing from Chrome users, we launched a set of user protections against “abusive experiences” -- experiences designed to intentionally mislead and trick users into taking action on the web. These protections blocked pop-ups and new window requests from sites with certain abusive experiences like redirecting pages.
However, we've learned since then that this approach did not go far enough. In fact, more than half of these abusive experiences are not blocked by our current set of protections, and nearly all involve harmful or misleading ads. These ads trick users into clicking on them by pretending to be system warnings or “close” buttons that do not actually close the ad. Further, some of these abusive ad experiences are used by scammers and phishing schemes to steal personal information."
Two types of abusive experiences where a deceptive site control appears to do one thing, but has a different behavior when clicked. One looks like a play button on a video but sends the user to an unwanted download when clicked (first), and the other looks like a close button but instead opens unwanted pop-up windows (second).
"As a result, today we are announcing expanded efforts to better protect users against these abusive experiences. Starting in December 2018, Chrome 71 will remove all ads on the small number of sites with persistent abusive experiences. Site owners can use the Abusive Experiences Report in their Google Search Console to see if their site contains any of these abusive experiences that need to be corrected or removed. Site owners will have a 30 day window to fix experiences flagged by the Report before Chrome removes ads."

Will it be finally successful?
Let's see.
I also read it two days ago or so.
I´m not too worried about it.
As we affiliates know it wasn't very successfull and web is still pretty much working same as before.
Business continued running as usual.
Yeah, we will see..
But this time webmasters have the ability to see if their site was hit or no in the Abusive Experience Report in Webmaster Console.
It may be a more radical hit this time, remember what Google did to webmaster just at the end of August by the EAT algorithm update.
We will know for sure next month 
For sure these misleading ads are annoying as f*$% but I don´t think this will have a big impact on pops that get triggered by clicking on a normal hyperlink on a website.
Great timing, I just wrote a paragraph about this for the weekly news thread
UPDATE:
These screens may look familiar...
Chrome 71 will warn users about unclear billing charges & subscription sign-ups

Nanny Google’s newest circumventable update to try and police the internet. These pricks need to realize they passed the “evil” stage a long time ago. Interrupting the free market system of the internet. People are too daft to make their own purchasing decisions says Google.
You can guess what comes next. Maybe browser taxes on purchases made through Chrome. Or ecomm payments on Chrome can now only be processed by Google Wallet. Tyranny has no end.

The problem is each actor in the chain takes it a notch higher.
Google says: dont eat bacon
Aff network escalates: dont eat meat
Broker further escalates: go vegan
At end we're left with crap on the table and the only thing left is shooting selfie rap videos in yoga spandex pants in middle of mountains.
IT happened with last update, when adult brokers went totally loco and there was total fiasco for 2 months straight,
untill they figured out what is compliant and what not.
Buying my spandex pants and booking a rap gig.. Need to work on my alternative career, when this shit goes down.
Better safe than sorry.
untill they figured out what is compliant and what not.
Is anyone having trouble with the Chrome 71 adblocker?
We don't see any drops yet on Chrome traffic, and we run mobile pin submits and IVR campaigns UK for example.

Maybe something goes when human comes from pop/redirect and answer of my questions, he redirect but don't get to offer lander, I don't know...
One more thing came to my mind ... did you mess with HTTPS/HTTP setup? Some browsers now block the traffic when you go from one type of connection to the other or show some warning... I was messing with it today and firefox literaly blocked the click when I used both https and http in the same funnel ... try to check if it could apply to you.
And do some tests with a different offer too, maybe there is something wrong with the one you are using. What does your AM tell you ?
Thanks for your worring about my question, matuloo. But, I forget to tall about that, everywhere am using https,
BTW yesterday, I have strange situation, I send my backbitten traffic to monetizer, and I saw that I take 2 leads CC from there (I check it by Offer Marketplace), but my offers are not converted WTF 
@macman, may I ask what type of traffic you run and what is the offer flow?
anyone else experienced a drop?
Am use ppr/ppv traffic and CC Sweeps
Today after investigating drop in CR on one of the camps i noticed that one of my offers is already being hit by the chrome new release and shows the warning page
http://prntscr.com/luexjy
So soon more offers will be hit as well as users keep updating their browser to the latest version
The solutions for the advs at the moment seems to be either follow the new regulations imposed by chrome, or keep rotating their domains
Lets see how this go...
I don't see any impact so far but I also don't run carrier billing campaigns at the moment.
Nontheless all my campaigns are pop traffic and nothing is affected yet.
About the carrier billing stuff, maybe advertisers just rotate domains just as adserk says.
It's working good for other pretty shady verticals as well.
