    The problem is that counterfeit advertisers are counterfeiting google itself and chrome itself - redirect pages comes from chrome and (weirdly) from my gmail account. This is a much larger privacy and honesty issue than counterfeit goods.
    Here is an example : Being Called
    chrome-extension://pgphcomnlaojlmmcjmiddhdapjpbgeoc/mailto.js:55Got message from bg page - https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1
    chrome-extension://pgphcomnlaojlmmcjmiddhdapjpbgeoc/mailto.js:24Starting to rewrite mailtos

    Why can I google a widget that doesn't exist, and have it return results for that widget for sale? Google should stop enabling this fraud too.

    Excellent news. I am very much hoping this effort will extend to the proliferation of AdSense ads on pirate movie sites around the globe that offer "free" streams and downloads to stolen films (from creators large and small). I hope this will also carry over to the cyber-locker sites as well that feature AdSense ads on downloads for stolen content (e-books, music, film, etc.)
